Change user role on submission

Hello @anthonyflibustiers,
Allow me to answer this question as I have done it before.

I personally searched for a change in user role on form submission inside Forminator and didn’t seem to find it except for user registration, then it can only assign a user role to a newly registered user, it can be conditional as well.

I found a solution using Uncanny Automator Plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/uncanny-automator/) and worked very fine with me. It triggers Forminator forms submission and can create different actions as you like. Make sure that it’s for logged in users.

I hope it works with you.

Thanks!

Hello !

Thanks for your answer, it’s a useful tool, but won’t work for me, at least with the free feature.

I was looking to change a particular user role (selected by the {email-1} form field) but it seems it will only work for the logged user only.

So I’ve decided to do it in a different way.

Thanks anyway!`

Hi @anthonyflibustiers

I hope you’re well today!

Forminator doesn’t include any “user management” feature so it’s not possible to “change” user role this way out-of-the-box. The only thing that can be done is to select which user role (as mentioned – it can also be conditional) should be assigned to a newly registered user when using registration forms.

But for regular forms in order to change user role of existing user you would indeed need either some 3rd-party solution (such as suggested one) or you’d need to get a custom solution coded.

Kind regards,
Adam
