Groups/members on all (or selected) sites in Multisite?
-
Hello — I am pretty much a complete newbie, so please excuse me from the get-go ??
I know this might not apply to a bunch of folks, but I was wondering if there is a way to have the Groups plugin automatically sync groups/settings from the main site to each (selected) sub site? I’m currently using the Multi Site User Manager plug in, which syncs the users among all the sites, but as it stands, it seems like I would have to go in to each sub site and recreate each group/capabilities and assign the proper users to each group.
Here’s my theory: I would use a membership plugin on my main site to have users sign up. The registration form would have custom check boxes for which content they are interested in. These check boxes would correspond to groups (and for this purpose, sub sites). Once they are registered and assigned to the proper group, they would have access only to the sites/pages that they are ‘allowed.’ I would have to manually add them to the right group (on the main site) when their registration is received, and I would have to set each page on each sub site with the proper group access, but their group memberships would automatically transfer to each sub site. I think this would work…maybe???
I don’t know if using the same table in the database would solve this, perhaps all of the group info in the main site’s tables? Like I said, I am new, but I did see a way to use one table for users in multiple WordPress installations without using Multisite, so it got me thinking about this as a possibility too…
Sorry for the long details, but I’m hoping it will help you understand what I’m trying to accomplish and why ?? I’ve also tried the Page Security & Membership plugin but it doesn’t sync either, but I will post this question in that support forum as well.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help and patience ??
