Grants/revokes a specified WordPress role for users at login based upon their membership status in SheepCRM.

tallprojects

<p>Grant (and revoke) specified roles at user login, based on their membership status in a <a href="http://getsheep.co.uk?ref=wp-member-auth-plugin" rel="nofollow ugc">SheepCRM membership database</a>.</p>
<p>These roles can then be used for controlling access to member-only content.</p>
<p>User accounts are created and managed in WordPress. These are separate from SheepCRM. The WordPress user’s email address is used in a query against the people records in Sheep on login. The specified member role is granted (and non-member role revoked) if the email address matches a person in Sheep who has an active membership.</p>
<p>Conversely, if the user does not have an active membership their member role is removed and the non-member role granted.</p>
<p>Note that this plugin does not use Sheep user accounts for authentication. Please <a href="https://www.tallprojects.co.uk?ref=wp-member-auth-plugin" rel="nofollow ugc">contact Tall Projects</a> if you require additional functionality.</p>
<h4>Fault tolerant</h4>
<p>No changes to a user’s roles will be made in the (unlikely) event of any issues contacting Sheep or error responses returned. Users are still able to login but their roles won’t be updated.</p>
<h4>Administrator bypass</h4>
<p>Users with the <code>administrator</code> role bypass this plugin. They are not checked against Sheep, nor are their roles changed.</p>
<p>This is an important and deliberate design consideration. It ensures your WordPress admin user(s) don’t inadvertently gain or lose roles, which could cause issues managing your site.</p>
