Hook to get user data

So the authorizer_user_register hook will only fire for new users when their WordPress account is created: https://github.com/uhm-coe/authorizer/blob/master/src/authorizer/class-authorization.php#L291-L310

I’d suggest the authorizer_custom_role filter, which has a slightly different form: https://github.com/uhm-coe/authorizer/blob/master/src/authorizer/class-authorization.php#L143-L152

We use that one at our institution so we can detect changes in roles/attributes for existing users: https://github.com/uhm-coe/authorizer/wiki/Integrating-WordPress-Roles-with-UH-Groupings#step-4-add-your-integration-code-to-your-wordpress-theme

Hi Paul,

Thanks! After more testing, I discovered that my methodology was flawed. I was using a plugin that switches between users, and that doesn’t fire the WP parse_request hook that you use call the Authorization->restrict_access() method. It does work with a new login, however, so whatever problem I’m having is not with Authorizer per se.

Regards,

Mark
