Justin, on re-reading your comment I think you suggested I should allow the user to automatically join as a subscriber (or whatever role I set up in UM) and then once added to the site, add permissions by having a different process to upgrade the user role. Conceptually I like this. I am just having a problem stripping the default role of ‘read’ privileges. I’m going to keep working at it; it would allow me to roll out my network using your plugin. If you have any tips, please let me know. Thanks again –

Thank you. I appreciate your speedy reply.

In fact I have already implemented a membership plugin: Ultimate Member. I have the subscriber user role set up as requiring admin approval. And when a member registers to a subsite for the first time, this is what happens. I was hoping that I could install your plugin and then the approval process would still work when users join subsequent sites. But unfortunately the rule in Ultimate Member is bypassed and the users are being automatically added. I hope I’m missing something.

I definitely don’t want unfettered access to the entire network. I have a network of private sites and users may join multiple sites. Currently it’s up to the Admin to add them from the backend, but ideally network users could ‘apply’ to join other sites, thus easing the burden on the administrator who often doesn’t know if the new user is an existing network member or new to the network.

Perhaps your plugin is compatible with other membership plugins and that this issue is just specific to ultimate member. If you know of other membership plugins that integrate with your plugin (preserving the approval process), please let me know. It would solve my biggest problem.

Many thanks. Your plugin is great and I hope I can find a way to use it.
