    Hello,

    I have an issue with default role. In the settings, I set custom Registered role to be Default and it works fine when registration happens front-end.

    But when I try to add new user from Dashboard and assign the role as Administrator, there is a problem.

    User gets activation email which says he is invited as Administrator, but after activates his account, his roles gets reset to the default Registered role.

    Update: I was trying both with plugin network-activated and enabled only on required subsite. In both cases, it’s impossible to create a new admin user from dashboard.

    Alright, I was reluctant to modify the plugin’s source code.
    So I created a special plugin to solve this problem. Basically, upon user activation, I ran the final check and update the user back to Admin if signup meta had ‘new_role’ key in place.

    add_action('wpmu_activate_user', 'promote_to_admin', 99);
function promote_to_admin($user_id, $password, $meta) {
global $wpdb;
$user = get_userdata($user_id);
$email = $user->user_email;
$query = $wpdb->prepare("SELECT meta from wp_signups where user_email = %s", $email);
$raw_meta = $wpdb->get_results($query, ARRAY_A);
$signup_meta = unserialize($raw_meta[0]['meta']);
if (array_key_exists('new_role', $signup_meta)) {
    $user->set_role($signup_meta['new_role']);
}
}
