We have a Teachable account with approx 5 membership tiers. When a new member is added to a Teachable tier, we want them to have access to Discourse via SSO and be granted access to specific Categories (already defined by Groups).

If a member stops paying, they must lose access to the paid Discourse Categories but maintain access to the free Categories.

The bigger issue is — what happens if someone joins Discourse but never joins a Teachable course? Or joins Discourse first and then Teachable second?

How should I think of what ultimately manages SSO for Teachable and Discourse? Do I need a third platform (Wordpress) to be the SSO Provider?

And if so, does it become:

- Wordpress to Discourse
- Wordpress to Teachable

And never:

- Teachable to Discourse

??

Thank you!
