Each role can select Services to receive notifications for.
When the user selects the Service Publisher access type, a Service Publisher panel appears containing the following fields:

- FAA Sponsor (required for users who are FAA Contractors): The name of the FAA program manager or other individual who is responsible for service development and who can verify that the user is allowed to modify the service.
After the user has selected the access type desired, the remaining account information is as follows:
- Service consumer designation (required):The user must select "yes" or "no" in answer to a question of whether the user or his/her organization currently consumes or plans to consume any SWIM services in the near future.

The user can then submit the account request. The NSRR Administrator will review the request and send the user an e-mail with information about the new account. If the request included creating a new service, the service will be created along with the new account. NOTE: if the information submitted is insufficient, the Administrator may contact the user and ask for more information.
