Hey,

Apologies if this has already been covered but I couldn’t find a topic that gave me what I needed. I’m fairly new to discourse but when the settings changed with an update to the WP-Discourse plugin did anything change with regards to the way SSO works?

The settings read as though when a user is created in wordpress a user should automatically get created in discourse. This occurs for me when a user visits the discourse forum (a user is created and they are automatically signed in).

The issue for me is that we are dealing with memberships and want to use those memberships to control access levels on the forum. I have the access levels figured but need immediate access to the discourse user to update accordingly. Does this mean I will need to manually fire an API call to create a discourse user? If so, do you foresee any issues with SSO if I do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  
Thanks!
