Multisite Default Role and Security

Hello All,

I’d like to see if it is possible to create a plugin that will allow for setting a Default Role for users that Register on a WP Multisite subsite.

The following plugin, Multisite User Management, comes close but does not allow setting a Default Role ONLY for the subsite that a user is registering on.

Here is the result that I want to achieve.

In a WP Multisite (and BuddyPress Multisite) installation a user registers on subsite “subsite-a”. The user receives a Default Role and shows up in wpadmin/users on the subsite with the assigned Role.

Multisite User Management then sets any other roles for other sites as necessary, such as the Primary site.

Why do I need this functionality?

In a WP multisite installation there is no security between sites. Registrations on any site have Network Subscriber (hidden) access to all subsites.

In order to establish security I use Incsub’s Mulitsite Privacy. However this requires manually adding users to each site so that they get a Role.

Thus with Default Roles assigned during registration each site can be secured with no manual intervention.

Looking forward to the discussion about how this can best be accomplished.
