Multiple Roles

    The Neon SSO plug-in appears to only support one role. If we add a second role to any user, it only populates the first role and deletes all the others in WordPress. For example, if we have a “Member” role and we also want them to have the role of “Ed Committee”, it removes the “Ed Committee” role when the account is created in WordPress. If we edit the user in WordPress and add the role, it deletes the additional role the next time the user logs in.

    This will become an issue at some point as we have envisioned restricting permissions to certain resources base on roles and many of our members will need to be assigned more that one role.

    Any suggestions on how we can work around this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    TJ

    It deletes the role because Neon memberships expire from time to time. The logic is a little blunt right now; it could probably be made more intelligent to achieve the same result without wiping all existing roles first.

    I’d like to +1 this. I have have a website who the admins are members to the organization. If they use the OAuth method then it wipes out the administrator role for the WP site. You mentioned that users expires from time to time but I see this as a non issue because it authenticate with the system every time right? Check the status there and come back without being logged in or something. Even though I told the admins to user the WP login they still forget from time to time and if they are in the middle of updating something and lose their role it gets to be a bit inconvenient.

    Maybe check if they have multiple roles and don’t update?

    Thanks!
