Abstract
The importance of symmetry in string theory is discussed, and an approach to the investigation of the subject is described. Symmetries arise from appropriate automorphisms of the operator algebras of conformal field theories, and it is shown that there is a symmetry for each dimension one primary field. These symmetries include the conventional gauge invariance as well as spontaneously broken symmetries that mix particles at different mass levels.
