# RegistrationNotPermittedOnRootSubnet (/docs/errors/chain/RegistrationNotPermittedOnRootSubnet)

A neuron registration or child-hotkey operation (`register`, `burned_register`, `set_children`) was called with the root netuid, where these calls are invalid. Check the netuid argument; use a regular subnet, or `root_register` for root membership.

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`invalid_argument`](/docs/errors/invalid-argument).
