Sync only specific user roles

Same problem here. Have you find a working solution?
Thanks.

Hi there,

We’d really love to see this functionality added too. We only want the sync to happen for one user role.

Meanwhile, is this the right idea to implement what you’re suggesting above?

	add_action( 'wprus_before_firing_action', 'check_whether_user_sync_between_sites_should_proceed', 10, 2 );

	function check_whether_user_sync_between_sites_should_proceed( $endpoint, $url, $data ) {

		global $block_http_requests;

		$block_http_requests = true; 

		if( ... user role checks out ... ){

			$block_http_requests = false;
		
		}

		return;

	}

	add_filter( 'pre_http_request', 'short_circuit_http_request', 10, 3 );

	function short_circuit_http_request( $preempt, $parsed_args, $url ){
		
		global $block_http_requests;

		if ( ! $block_http_requests ) {

			return false; // i.e. Don't intervene so it can proceed as planned

		}

		// Otherwise, block the request:

		return new WP_Error( 'blocked', __( "HTTP request manually blocked due to disallowed user roles.", $this->plugin_name ) ); 

	}

	add_action( 'wprus_after_firing_action', 'reset_http_blocking_after_checking_whether_user_sync_between_sites_should_proceed', 10, 2 );

	function reset_http_blocking_after_checking_whether_user_sync_between_sites_should_proceed( $endpoint, $url, $data, $response ) {

		global $block_http_requests;

		$block_http_requests = false; 

	}

I ask because we’re getting an error when we update the user profile, so must have misunderstood something. … or it’s just too late at night as I write this 🙂

Would be grateful if you could let me know if anything jumps out at you.

Thank you!

Alex.

One more thought, to support the request for adding the user and/or user role filters suggested above.

It’s quite possible to lock an administrator out of a remote site by mistake.

Sounds silly, I know. And sounds like something you have to be clumsy or stupid to do.

But consider the following example:

1. You set up role sync between sites with a role being synched, e.g. editor
2. You don’t setup to sync the administrator role between those sites, but you also don’t “merge with existing roles”
3. You add the editor role to an administrator

If that administrator also exists on any synched remote sites, then after the actions are fired they will only have role editor. And not the administrator role any longer!

This may be a fringe example and I know it’d be odd to add the editor role to administrator user, but something quite like this happened to us. And I believe we’ve been very careful and thoughtful.

I guess my points are that: 1) it might be better not to allow administrators to sync by default in any event; and 2) it’d be great to have the ability requested above to select which users / user roles are impacted – globally for all sync pairs, or on a case by case basis for each sync pair.

All that said, thank you again for this wonderful plugin Alexandre.

We really appreciate you providing it and hope our experiences and comments are helpful to you.

Sincerely,
Alex.
