Hi,
New to discourse and having a problem with SSO.
Before signing my payload looks like this.
“nonce=d09ba51dbc2094e47f5b8e85d5612520&external\_id=539692721&email=admin%[blah.uk](http://blah.uk)&name=Tadmin&avatar\_force\_update=1&admin=1&suppress\_welcome\_message=1”
The user is created but isn’t an admin and does get a welcome message.
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers
Matt

Try using `true` instead of 1.

Thanks Simon - that did it.
If anyone else encounters this problem when php and http\_build\_query it’s because http\_build\_query will change any boolean to 1 or 0.
