automatic assigning of Permission

    Hi, I’m using your plug-in and it is great. Exactly what I needed. A donation is forthcoming!

    But first, I have one more thing I want to do. We create users dynamically for a certain class of users. These users need to be assigned the “BigKahuna” Permission.
    I can login to WordPress and I see BigKahuna listed under Permissions for Users and can check it manually. I want to have that checked by default either on user creation or updating the record afterwards.
    We’re using wp_insert_user to create the user, so it would be optimal to simply add the needed item to the userdata array on insert.

    Thank you.

    After you’ve created the user with wp_insert_user, it returns the user ID of the newly-created user.

    Use this in the update_user_meta function to add the permission meta to the user:
    update_user_meta( $user_id, $meta_key, $meta_value)

    It is important to note that our plugin prepends “simple-restrict-” to the page permission slug and to the user meta (to avoid conflicts with other user metas).

    Therefore, you would run something like this:
    update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘simple-restrict-bigkahuna’, ‘yes’ )

    Let us know if you run into trouble.
