Title: Integrate Groups with View Admin As Last modified: October 31, 2016 --- # Integrate Groups with View Admin As * [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-groups-with-view-admin-as/) * Hey Groups team! * After the next release (this week) I’d like to add support for Groups in my plugin( [https://wordpress.org/plugins/view-admin-as/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/view-admin-as/)) so developers can view their sites as a group member without the need of actually being a group member. This prevents the hassle of logging in and out constantly. * Are there any roadblocks I need to be aware of when working with Groups or is it all fairy straight forward? I’ll be diving in your plugin next week. Let me know! * Regards, Jory Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [Kento](https://wordpress.org/support/users/proaktion/) * (@proaktion) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-groups-with-view-admin-as/#post-8395011) * Hi Jory, * That sounds like a great idea, I’m looking forward to give it a try! * Do you plan on doing this with a temporary assignment to the desired group? I think that would be the most simple way to approach it. * Cheers * Thread Starter [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-groups-with-view-admin-as/#post-8396060) * Hi [@proaktion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/proaktion/), * Yes, I hook into WP at a very early stage and change the known values like current user, role or anything while making a backup in my class files. * I already got it working for a bit: – Getting the groups, no problem – Filter the `groups_user_can` seems to work aswell (groups capabilities) * The only problem I get is that I can’t find a filter to set group of the current user. (I don’t want to store any information into the database.) * Is there a simple filter like `groups_is_member` or something? * Thanks! * Thread Starter [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-groups-with-view-admin-as/#post-8396554) * [https://github.com/itthinx/groups/pull/59](https://github.com/itthinx/groups/pull/59) * Thread Starter [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-groups-with-view-admin-as/#post-8396680) * Hi [@proaktion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/proaktion/), * I’ve made a new branche on GH for this integration. The current version requires PR 59 (see comment above) so it can filter the user-group relations. * [https://github.com/JoryHogeveen/view-admin-as/tree/module-groups](https://github.com/JoryHogeveen/view-admin-as/tree/module-groups) * Shortcodes and page restrictions are working, are there any other features I should know about? Currently all other capabilities are set from the current user (site admin) so all normal WP capabilities are “true”. * How does your plugin integrate with other roles? Does it work side-by-side or does it fully integrate in the existing capabilities? * NOTE: Currently the selected group is set within PHP (not the dropdown). See: view-admin-as/modules/class-groups.php Line 60 * Will make a commit that enables the dropdown a.s.a.p. (Not sure wether to add a new .js file for this or not..) * Let me know! * Cheers, Jory * Thread Starter [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-groups-with-view-admin-as/#post-8397229) * All functionality for now updating works. You can ignore the note on the PHP file. * Thread Starter [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-groups-with-view-admin-as/#post-8415377) * [@proaktion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/proaktion/) * Is there a way to contact you or another dev directly? If possible I’d like to have this integration ready for the nest “major” release! * Regards, Jory * Thread Starter [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-groups-with-view-admin-as/#post-8520804) * Hi [@proaktion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/proaktion/), * You still there? 😉 * Cheers, Jory * Thread Starter [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-groups-with-view-admin-as/#post-8923271) * Hi [@proaktion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/proaktion/), * Any chance my questions and PR’s get a reply? If not that’s ok as well, I’ll scrap it from my whishlist then. * Cheers, Jory * [Abigailm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abigailm/) * (@abigailm) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-groups-with-view-admin-as/#post-8923937) * Jory, the developers might be missing your question because you are reviving an old thread – but their web site is [http://www.itthinx.com/](http://www.itthinx.com/) and their email is written on the “Contact” page of their site — so that is probably the best way to initiate communication. * I like your idea, by the way. It is definitely something I would use. * Thread Starter [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-groups-with-view-admin-as/#post-8924225) * [@abigailm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abigailm/) * I did that at that time as well, also created two pull requests on GH so you might thing someone must have seen it ;). But fair enough, I’ll try it again! * Regards, Jory * Thread Starter [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-groups-with-view-admin-as/#post-9097668) * Still nothing..
