 Surely someone has found a creative means to assign a role to a registering user based on the page they are on, a selection they made, or other?

In classic asp I'd stick a hidden field with the value of the role in it, (one per page) then let the subscriber choose their option - Platnum, Gold, Silver  - and when they click register submit that to the database.

How does DNN deal with this?

I don't mean 'auto assign' a role to 'every' registrant. I mean, assign a specific role based on some kind of input from the subscriber.

You creativity is much appreciated

DNN has the Manage Services tab in the user profile where one can add and remove oneself from any roles that have been set as Public. This tab needs to be enabled in the user settings.

More useful however are the various add-on modules that let you charge for subscriptions/services during sign-up, assign roles based on responses, or let the person choose from a pre-defined list of subscriptions/services from any page.

Have a browse around Snowcovered or try the totally disorganised DNN Marketplace - look for Datasprings Dynamic Registration among others.

It seems ironic that a solution so well developed as DNN, (and much appreciated), depends on users making decisions on buying so many third party 'solutions'.

I appreciate your answer and have previously read all the docs, posted to both UCANUSE and Datasprings about their modules. I've been frustrated that a simple thing (yeah right) as assigning roles at the time of registration would require another purchase, but, hey that's what were in business for right?

I guess I was hoping for a magic bullet that was an easy build.

Back to work...
