 * Hi [@smartwebcanada](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smartwebcanada/)
 * IF you’re using the WP Admin > Register form, then you will have to change the
   role in WP Admin > Settings > General > New User Default Role.

 * Hi [@smartwebcanada](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smartwebcanada/)
 * You can assign a specific role for a specific UM Register form. Please see the
   settings: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kOJcQp5rIovxm3dPnkBOOUhSw58Dzjte/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kOJcQp5rIovxm3dPnkBOOUhSw58Dzjte/view?usp=sharing)

 * Thank you… So, with this using the wp-admin registration for adding users,if 
   i choose the partners for default in the ultimate member registration form and
   default staff role at General Settings of WordPress, will that give me the right
   role that i chose?

 * Hi [@smartwebcanada](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smartwebcanada/)
 * When you assign a role to a Register form, it will use that to assign to a user
   instead of the default role in the General Settings of WordPress.

 * Yes, for now we are using the registration form… If we use the wp-admin dashboard
   and add new user, the role just go to the default we selected… I guess this is
   from the wordpress itself doing it?
