Actually, I guess my question is a little more complicated. @Stephen answered part of it for me.
What I did not state is that I have set up SSO with my WordPress site to share the login. On WordPress, my users will be tagged to indicate that they should have access to the forum.
So, how can I control who gets to log in based on my WordPress tags (because that will indicate that they have paid)? Do I have to do this manually inside of Discourse (as I did for my clients previously)? Or is there a better way to accomplish this?
Thanks.
