### Role Deployment
Now that we have set up the root certificate authority, we can focus on setting up the subordinate CA.
!!! warning "Enterprise Admin Requirement"
When you are setting up the role, you **absolutely** have to use an Enterprise Admin account. This could be a service account like `svcCertAdmin` or something similar.
- Navigate to "**Server Manager > (Alert Flag) > Post-deployment Configuration: Active Directory Certificate Services**"
- Under credentials, let it automatically populate a domain admin. (e.g. `BUNNY-LAB\nicole.rappe`)
- Under credentials, enter the username for an Enterprise Admin. (e.g. `BUNNY-LAB\nicole.rappe`)
- Click "**Next**"
- Check the following roles (*we will add the rest after setting up the core CA functionality*)
- `Certification Authority`

- Right-click the CA node in the treeview on the left-hand sidebar (e.g. `BunnyLab-SubordinateCA-01`)

- Verify that the CA status is now green (running).
### Certificate Template Permissions
Lastly, we need to adjust the security permissions of the "Domain Controller Authentication" template so that domain controllers have read permissions to the template.
- Right-Click ""**Certificate Templates**" > Manage
- Right-click "**Domain Controller Authentication**" > Properties
- Click on the "**Security**" tab
- Under the "Domain Controllers" permission, ensure that "Allow:Read" is checked, as well as "Enroll" and "Autoenroll", then click "OK"
## Create Auto-Enrollment Group Policy
The Certificate Auto-Enrollment Group Policy enables domain-joined devices (*computers, including domain controllers*) to automatically request, renew, and install certificates from the Enterprise CA (in this case, the Subordinate CA `LAB-CA-02`).
