I have a Wix website on a paid plan (Core). The site’s members (people who’ve just signed up on my site) are well integrated into it, with their details & connections are stored on Wix’s powerful CMSs.
So my Wix site is & should be the core place where users are registered (is this called Identity Provider (IdP)) I want my Discourse forum to use that, to log in users ideally, or link them between my Wix site & Discourse, as well integrated & seamless as possible. At this discovery level, I’d like to know all my options so as not to lose some suggestions by stating my specific needs (stated at the end 
)
1) What are my options?
What I’ve explored
I’ve searched All site settings, doesn’t seem to have an option
2) Can any of these
help solve this?
These options seem to have something to do with my goal, but there’s nothing under those tabs. I’ve looked them up & kinda get what they may be, but not knowledgeable enough to properly understand how they can relate to my goal
3) These? I wanted to get as much of an overview as I could myself before asking humans. Here’s one AI response that lists a few options.
Out of these, re automation platforms; I tried both Zapier & Integrately. Tried both of em, here’s what Zapier said. I understand some of this but didn’t wanna load this post with all my questions about that too, so, broadly;
5) Then that point re SSO, is not a solution given my goal right?
Context re my specific capacity: Rookie coder, built couple semi complex websites on Wix, budget; broke, looking for no to very low cost options atm. Stuck on Discourse’s free hosting for a while
⭕ The following aren't rigid requirements but preferences of what I'd hope the end product would be:
-
Re which users need to be registered:
Option 1.1) Ideally all users that sign up on my main site (becoming members) need not have Forum accounts for them auto created. Just those who wanna login & add to the forum (more than just read) need to have themselves linked here. (so site members having accounts in the forum is optional, but if they wanna sign up from here, they must be registered on the main site)
Option 1.2) If above’s not possible, having all members (from my site) have Forum accounts auto created isn’t ideal but I’m open to it -
Re sign up page & account
Option 2.1) Ideally my Discourse forum’s signup/login must be replaced by the Wix one (so it’s just 1 account & 1 type of sign up/page portal).
Option 2.2) If above’s not possible, (if users have to sign up to both Wix & Discourse separately) there should be a mandatory step ensuring that they’re accounts are definitely linked between both Wix & Discourse.
