# Dynamic User Registration (DUR)

Dynamic User Registration (DUR) allows to create a new user account automatically when the user credentials are validated using back-end authentication. The correct static password is sufficient to create a new user account. DUR saves the administrative work of manually creating or importing a user account.

DUR is typically used together with the following features:

- auto-assignment. OneSpan Authentication Server selects a random authenticator and assigns it to the new user account as it is created..

> If maker–checker authorization is enabled, assigning an authenticator requires the approval of a checker administrator. In that case, auto-assignment is not available.
- self-assignment. This allows new users to assign an authenticator to their accounts as part of their logon process.

For more information about authenticator assignment features, see [Assigning authenticators to users](/sec/docs/oas-pg-assigning-authenticators-3-28).

To control the creation of new accounts, DUR can be used with the following features:

- Windows name resolution. This prevents that more than one user account is created for the same Windows user account, when they use different user ID formats to authenticate.
- Windows group check. This allows a staged creation of user accounts and assignment of authenticators.

A typical DUR process using auto-assignment and Windows group check is illustrated in [Figure: Dynamic User Registration (Process)](/sec/docs/oas-pg-dynamic-user-registration-dur-3-28#Fig_DynamicUserRegistrationProcess).
