We use the official Discourse sso and pass a set of groups via add_groups/remove_groups. However now we’re looking for a good way to “refresh” the list of groups. Can anyone think of a way to do this without having the user have to logout/login?

Yeah … you would use the sync_sso route, you just pass it the sso payload and it updates all the data without logging the user out.

3rd party app would run it at its discretion. For example … master user account updates profile picture on master site … call sync_sso to pass it to Discourse in a background job.

I’ve got nothing at hand. If you want help here, start a new topic, say what membership stuff you’re using and what you’re trying to accomplish. I think you just need a few lines in whatever membership thing you’re using to push the stuff over. Lots of stuff has gotten better in the wp-discourse plugin which might solve your problem pretty easily.

Hi Jay. Have you successfully used sync_sso? If so, would you mind sharing some example code?
