Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Here is my code for anyone else that may have the same issue

	public function register()
	{
        $this->loadModel('Users');
		$user = $this->Users->newEmptyEntity();
        if ($this->request->is('post')) {
			
			$formdata = $this->request->getData();
			$formdata['role'] = 'user';
            
			$user = $this->Users->patchEntity($user, $formdata);
			
            if ($result = $this->Users->save($user)) {
				$this->Authentication->setIdentity($result);
				$this->Flash->success(__('The user has been saved.'));
                return $this->redirect(['action' => 'index']);
            }
            $this->Flash->error(__('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
        }
        $this->set(compact('user'));
	}
