Say goodbye to the headache of managing users in a multisite network! Now when a user visits a blog in the network, the user will be added to the blog with your specified roles automatically.
Here is how this plugin works:
<ol>
<li>When a user visits a site, this plugin checks if the user is already a member of the site.</li>
<li>If the user is a member, do nothing.</li>
<li>Otherwise add the user to the site with the user\’s role in blog #1, or a role specified by you. [Sync Role]</li>
<li>If the user is not an existing member of blog #1, the user will be added with a role specified by you. [Default Role]</li>
<li>When a user\’s role is updated, the user\’s new role can be updated across all the bogs the user is member of. [Role Update]</li>
</ol>

Multisite User Role Sync

Automatically add users to peer blogs in a multisite network.

There are lots of plugins to handle roles and capabilities, however, none provide one simple interface for allocating multiple roles to a user.
This plugin expects the complexity of capabilities to be handled by the Administrator through another plugin, I’m not reproducing what is already available. What ‘Role Includer’ allows is for any user with the ‘promote_users’ capability a simple way to handle allocation of roles and only that.
So by simply creating a new role, for example “staff” and adding the ‘promote_users’ capability to this role, all staff members will be able to handle role assignment.
If you wish to hide/mask-out a particular role from “staff” ( such as “Administrator” ) so that staff cannot allocate the higher access level then you can exclude higher roles by using the “Role Excluder” plugin available over at <a href="https://justinandco.com/plugins/" rel="nofollow ugc">justinandco.com</a>

Role Includer

This plugin gets the job done. I'm using it in combination with Ultimate Member, one of those free all-in-one plugins that markets itself as the #1 user profile and membership plugin.

However, Ultimate Member doesn't have the ability to assign multiple roles to a single user and it doesn't look like they're going to add it (see this ticket from August 2017). I didn't want another bloated membership plugin because I put all my eggs in this basket, and the client's project I'm working on has a quick approaching deadline.

This small little utility plugin came to my rescue and is perfect for just adding in this snippet of much-needed functionality. Thank YOU!

Lightweight and Compatible with Ultimate Member
