# Multisite – create/add user – multiple roles

 * When creating a user in a single-site install, there is a box added by User Role
   Editor that allows me to assign multiple additional roles at the time I create
   the user. This works very well.
 * In a multisite install, the same box appears on the page, but does not appear
   to function. When I add an existing user, or create a new user, they are only
   assigned the single role I selected in the dropdown as per WordPress default.
   User Role Editor does not appear to assign any additional roles no matter what
   I try.
 * Currently the only workaround is to edit the user after they have been created/
   added, but this requires permission to edit network users.
 * Does User Role Editor support adding multiple roles while creating/adding users
   in a multisite install? If so, is there a bug preventing me from doing so? If
   not, should the Additional Roles fields not appear in multisite?

 * Thank you for this bug report.
 * URE should assign multiple roles under multisite too, by idea, but it does not
   in fact. `user-new.php` page has duplicated controls related to the assigning
   additional roles (1 for existing user, 1 for a new one), both with the same ID,
   so JavaScript part does not work correctly. I will develop a fix for the next
   update.

 * I submitted a fix to [development version](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/user-role-editor.zip)
   4.35.3. I will appreciate if you find a time to test it.

 * Yes, the development version you linked fixes the issue. I assume this fix will
   be applied to the Pro version as well (as it shares the same problem)?
 * Thanks so much for the quick turnaround!

 * Sure. I will update a core included into a Pro version too.
    Thanks for your 
   help!
