At this time i’m testing Wordpress with discourse. This works good.
Only with SSO i want to have only customers accessing the forum who only have a paid membership with Paid Memberships Pro.
Is this possible ?

Yes, this is possible.
You can make your Discourse site private (see `login required` under admin settings) and only accessible to members, so if you are using SSO from your Wordpress site, they can register / sign-in there, then access your Discourse forum. Otherwise it will be closed.

I think, I‘ve seen some membership plugin here at meta before. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the name of it.

There are ways to achieve this without plugins, but if that is what is wanted, then maybe check out: [ProCourse Memberships 💸](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-league-paid-memberships-money-with-wings/57558)
