    I will use WordPress as an authoring tool for static web content.
    It will be embedded into my own system.
    As such It will inherit the user and roles from the mother system.
    My thinking is to have a plugin, so when the mother system redirects to the WordPress url, it will seamlessly login (SSO).
    I want to achieve that by populating the WordPress User object with data that is coming from the mother system, and not from the WordPress DB.
    In essence no user will be created in the WordPress DB.

    Assuming I can properly populate the User object and there are no Comments nor posts nor similar social actions on the WP, is this the right approach?
