WP User Group and multisite

It depends totally on what you need.

* If you need different groups on each individual site, activate this plugin network-wide and you’re done!
* If you need 1 set of groups to exist on all sites, I’d suggest activating this plugin only on 1 site, and writing some kind of shim to provide support for switching to that site, getting group data, and switching back. If you need professional services to assist with this, I’m happy to help build this for you.

Hi John

Thanks a lot for your answer.

What I’m talking about is a set of groups that exists across all sites in the multisite, and where a user is either part of a group on all sites, or not part of the group on any site.

But I was kind of contemplating a different approach, so my follow up question would be, whether it is possible to programmatically assign a user to a group – perhaps based upon data in user meta.

In our use case it would probably be something like, if User A has seven digits in a specific user meta field, then he/she is assigned to Group 1, and if he/she has five characters in another specific user meta field then he/she is assigned to Group 2.

In order to work this function would somehow have to run on each site, every time a user/administrator creates or updates a user profile. Or alternatively I guess it could be triggered as a cron job on each site.

The benefit of this approach in our user case would be, that the site administrator would only have to worry about updating the relevant user meta fields, and not about manually assigning users to groups.

And yes, if we where to build this functionality, we would definitely need professional help.

Best regards

Or I forgot one thing.

I guess the function would also need to unassign users from groups, if the criterias aren’t met.
