We use the official [Discourse sso](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) 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.

When/how would that happen?

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.

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

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.

You can find details about using the `sync_sso` route to refresh sso data here: [Sync SSO user data with the sync\_sso route](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sync-sso-user-data-with-the-sync-sso-route/84398)
