Thanks for the great plugin, guys!

I was wondering that you would add a “roles” functionality to it. I saw that I am not alone with the struggle and maybe it wouldn’t be too much of a development either.

It would be great if the plugin export and “translate” the user roles in WordPress to Discourse groups, so for example the WooCommerce customers could have access to certain closed topics, or those who only registered with their emails could access less than those who bought a membership.

I know that there are plugin-specific solutions (I am looking for one for a Woocommerce-site), but if the plugin handled roles it would solve them at once.

Even without the need of cross-creation: it would be enough if one could set the equivalents from a dropdown of the already existing roles / groups.

What do you think about it?
