Auto assign user role

    Hi there,

    Does this plugin allow for a specific registration form to assign users to a specific user role?

    So for instance:

    IfI have two separate areas of my website where they are totally separate user types, a group called ‘consultants’ and a group called ‘candidates’. Consultants use the website to post articles on the website and are used for other things. Candiates use a job board and need a totally different profile.

    So the urls could look like this:

    mywebsite.com/jobs/register
    So the above would show a form and once complete and verified if registered via this form they will be a ‘candidate’

    mywebsite.com/consultants/register
    So the above would show a form and once complete and verified if registered via this form they will be a ‘consultants’

    Is this possible? I hope it is clear.

    Dan

    Hey has anyone taken a look at my question?

    Hi Dan,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    You could use the role parameter inside the [wppb-register] shortcode as explained in our docs:

    -> For the consultant role it should look like this: [wppb-register role="consultant"]

    -> For the candidate role it should look like this: [wppb-register role="candidate"]

    The role argument, from the shortcode, must use a valid (existing) User Role else the Role will revert back to the Default WordPress User Role (Subscriber) for security reasons.

    You can create roles and manage the permissions with Roles Editor found in Profile Builder -> General Settings.

    Another solution would be Profile Builder Pro that has the Multiple Registration Forms and Multiple Edit Profile Forms modules. With these modules you can create Custom Registration/Edit Profile Forms with different fields for different user roles.

    You can test Profile Builder Pro on our demo install. If you have any other questions regarding the Pro version please submit a support ticket because we are not allowed to offer support for paid plugins on these free forums.

    Let me know if this information helped you.

    Best regards,
