Default Ants in compost

Took the lid off one of my compost bins
to day and found it overrun with ants.
Never seen so many ants in one place.
They seem to be doing a good job in there
and chomping the contents into a fine powdery
soil.
The question is, should I leave them alone or will
they do any harm.??
Although I hate ants I feel inclined to leave them to
carry on with what they are doing.

Your comments would be appreciated.
