 * This isn’t exactly about the plugin itself.
 * We have a WP network setup and if I enable the plugin for the whole network it
   activates on the root site as well. Which is what we want.
    The problem is, that
   the Network Admin user is a WP internal user. The only way to log in as tha admin
   user is through the WP native login. To do that, the simpleSAMLphp Authentication
   plugin has to be disabled.
 * My question is this: Can a user authenticated through the simpleSAMLphp Authentication
   plugin be set as a Network Admin?
 * Regards.

 * Go to the Network Admin dashboard and click on Users.
    Clicking on a username
   will open the profile page for that user. Check the box for Super Admin (Grant
   this user super admin privileges for the Network.). Save the changes. The user
   can now log in via the simpleSAMLphp Authentication plugin and he/she will be
   granted Super Admin privileges.
