Per [Setup DiscourseConnect - Official Single-Sign-On for Discourse (sso)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/official-single-sign-on-for-discourse-sso/13045), you could have your SSO provider include the `groups`, `add_groups`, and/or `remove_groups` keys to modify Discourse group membership based on the roles in your application (see the section in the top post there titled **Specifying group membership** ).
