@simon bumping this up

– has there been any progress on this? It remains the most frustrating part of Discourse for me.

I want to automatically add buyers of my course to the secret “buyers only” group of my Discourse, so only they can see course related posts.

Right now, the “join group” link is not a good solution because it fails when someone already has an account. They are simply left with an error message. And then someone on my team has to manually add them.

Any progress? Solutions? Work arounds?
