WordPress SSO + Normal User registration?

Is it possible to somehow create an account and have them log in to the forum, with SSO still enabled for the WP users?

Thanks, yeah I’m already using the Discourse SSO plugin.

I just didn’t really want them to go through the login screen on the WP site, I think there’s no way around it.

Thanks again!
