<h3>User Access Hub</h3>
<p>The User Access Hub is a service that allows administrators to manage users, user access, and roles across a network of CMS sites and will significantly simplify the administrative tasks associated with managing multiple websites. Some reasons why using such a service can help an administrator effectively manage all their CMS sites:</p>
<ol>
<li>Centralized User Management: The User Access Hub provides a single, centralized dashboard where administrators can manage users across all connected CMS sites. This means that instead of logging into each site separately, they can control user access from one location.</li>
<li>User Account Creation and Deletion: Administrators can grant a user access to one or all CMS sites and revoke/delete user access to one or all CMS sites simultaneously. This is particularly useful when onboarding new users or removing access for users who no longer require it.</li>
<li>Role Management: Administrators can assign CMS site defined roles to users for each CMS site, allowing fine tuned access to each CMS site for each user. Permissions will be assigned to roles that are configured on the CMS site.</li>
<li>Single Sign-On (SSO): The User Access Hub allowing users to log in once and access all connected CMS sites without the need for multiple logins. This enhances user experience and security.</li>
<li>Audit Trail and Logging: The hub maintains detailed logs and an audit trail of user activities and changes made by administrators. This is essential for tracking changes, diagnosing issues, and maintaining security.</li>
<li>Scalability: As the network of Drupal sites grows, the User Access Hub can easily scale to accommodate new CMS sites and users without significantly increasing administrative overhead.</li>
<li>Automation: The User Access Hub service is built on the API first methodology and most of the operations that can be performed in the UI can also be performed using the User Access Hub API.</li>
</ol>

<h3>Additional features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Drupal CMS support</li>
<li>Core Updates Reporting</li>
<li>Plugin Updates Reporting</li>
<li>Theme Updates Reporting</li>
</ul>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>This plugin requires the openssl_verify() PHP function, which is part of the <a href="https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.openssl.php" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenSSL library</a> for PHP.</li>
<li>This plugin requires an account on <a href="https://www.useraccesshub.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">User Access Hub</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<ol>
<li>Enable the plugin. This will create an API key at User Access Hub > Authentication. None of the fields on this form can be edited through the UI. The ‘Enabled the Handshake Endpoint’ checkbox should be checked.</li>
<li>Select the roles that should be handled by the hub’s SSO functionality at User Access Hub > Roles.</li>
<li>Add the site to the <a href="https://www.useraccesshub.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">User Access Hub</a> hub, setting the API key that was generated from step 1.</li>
<li>In the hub, use the ‘Connect’ operation to allow the hub to handshake with the site. Once this is complete, settings on User Access Hub > Authentication will be updated – ‘Private Key’ will be populated, ‘Site ID’ will be populated and the ‘Enabled the Handshake Endpoint’ checkbox will be unchecked.</li>
<li>To enable all User Access Hub functionality, the final step is to check the ‘Enable all of the User Access Hub functionality.’ checkbox on User Access Hub > Settings.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Overriding Configuration</h3>
<p>In many cases, the configuration that exists in the database will need to be overridden. The case of different config values for different environments springs to mind. This can be accomplished by overriding the configuration in a wp-config.php file:</p>
<pre><code>define( 'USERACCESSHUB_ALLOW_LOCAL', true );
define( 'USERACCESSHUB_API_KEY', 'string' );
define( 'USERACCESSHUB_DEFAULT_ROLE', 'role' );
define( 'USERACCESSHUB_ENABLED', true );
define( 'USERACCESSHUB_HANDSHAKE_ENABLED', true );
define( 'USERACCESSHUB_PUBLIC_KEY', 'string' );
define( 'USERACCESSHUB_REDIRECT', '/redirect/url' );
define( 'USERACCESSHUB_ROLES', array( 'role1', 'role2' ) );
define( 'USERACCESSHUB_SITE_ID', 1 );
</code></pre>
<h3>Commands</h3>
<h3>Enable Handshake</h3>
<p>This WP CLI command will enable the handshake endpoint so a site can be reconnected with the Hub.</p>
<pre><code>wp enable-handshake
</code></pre>
<h3>Disable Handshake</h3>
<p>This WP CLI command will disable the handshake endpoint.</p>
<pre><code>wp disable-handshake
</code></pre>
<h3>Regenerate API Key</h3>
<p>This WP CLI command will re-generate the API key used for the handshake.</p>
<pre><code>wp regenerate-api-key
</code></pre>

InfiniteWP Client

We have 100 sites that we manage, update, review and monitor on a daily, weekly and monthly basis for customers.  Infinitewp makes this so simple to manage.  You can instantly see needed updates, You can setup staging sites to manage updates before updating live sites which is essential for our highly custom ecommerce sites.  

Support is top notch.  We have had 2 issues.  One was a 2 second fix where we simply did not RTFM and missed the step.  The other issue was recent and had to do with the recent update in WP All in One Security in which a specific setting was blocking access.  The support team could have taken the easy way and said - this setting is blocking our access, you have to leave it unchecked and not use it, but the infinitewp team did things the right way and updated their plugins to work around the security setting.  

This plugin is well worth the price.  It saves us hours every week and we highly recommend. 

BEST tool for any wordpress dev who manages sites

I have been using InfiniteWP for years, and highly recommend. It provides a quick way to see what sites have updates, and a way to target updating only specific sites/plugins/core. I've tried others, like ManageWP, but they lack features I need, like being able to only update specific plugins, or get a list of all sites I just updated so I can log into each, and check the updates didn't break anything. Most of my clients' sites use WP Engine's Smart Plugin Manager, and I use InfiniteWP so I can ensure the automatic updates keep running (they've stopped on quite a few of my sites, and InfiniteWP is how I track when this happens so I can get the automatic updates running again). I have InfiniteWP set up to send me an email of all sites that have updates daily. Asvin has provided fast, awesome support anytime I've had an issue over the years - which has only happened a couple of times when dealing with more advanced settings.

A must-have to manage site updates

Install this plugin on unlimited sites and manage them all from a central dashboard. This plugin communicates with your InfiniteWP Admin Panel.
