Synch multiple roles or disable role importing

    Hello,

    I can’t manage for the plugin not to erase my customized multiple roles.

    Would it be possible to either not apply the default role OR to apply multiple roles (so at least I could re-import those) when importing into the user base?

    Thanks

    Hi @nipa42 ,

    Thanks for your message.

    At the moment, the plugin can only assign a single role per user during the import/sync process. This means that when a user is created or updated, the role defined in the mapping will be applied and can override existing roles, which explains why your customized multiple roles are being erased.

    Unfortunately, it’s currently not possible to:

    • disable the default role assignment entirely, or
    • assign multiple roles to a user via the plugin.

    If supporting multiple roles during import is critical for your workflow, this would require a custom development, which we can discuss if you’re interested.

    Let us know how you’d like to proceed, and we’ll be happy to advise.

    Kind Regards,

    Cristian

    Thanks for your answer.


    I solved my problem by using the plugin to import the multiple roles into a custom field and assigning a generic role instead. Then, after each import, I run a simple piece of code that, for each users, adds the roles from that field and removes the generic role. It’s a two-step process, but it’s transparent. And works in our case.

    Cheers
