Hi Have a look at autoassignrole module. It does just this, you can also patch profile_role so the two integrate and you get custom registration fields per url/role.

However, I can't add the value to $form_state['values']['roles'] because the function errors out if there is a roles array because it is seen as a 'malicious attempt to alter protected user fields.' Since that function then calls user_save, it seems that once the user is saved, I need to 1) load the user I just created, 2) add the role to the object, and 3) save it again. However, in order to call user_load, I need the uid, which isn't returned from user_register_submit. The only logical thing I can think to do is query the users table with the user name I just created (entered as part of the form), get the rid, and then call user_load and do my thing. Is there a better (and easier) way to do this that I'm missing, or am I on the right track? Thanks. Steve = Internal Virus Database is out of date.
