Grant (and revoke) specified roles at user login, based on their membership status in a SheepCRM membership database<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

These roles can then be used for controlling access to member-only content.<\/p>\n\n

User accounts are created and managed in WordPress. These are separate from SheepCRM. The WordPress user's email address is used in a query against the people records in Sheep on login. The specified member role is granted (and non-member role revoked) if the email address matches a person in Sheep who has an active membership.<\/p>\n\n

Conversely, if the user does not have an active membership their member role is removed and the non-member role granted.<\/p>\n\n

Note that this plugin does not use Sheep user accounts for authentication. Please contact Tall Projects<\/a> if you require additional functionality.<\/p>\n\n

Fault tolerant<\/h4>\n\n

No changes to a user's roles will be made in the (unlikely) event of any issues contacting Sheep or error responses returned. Users are still able to login but their roles won't be updated.<\/p>\n\n

Administrator bypass<\/h4>\n\n

Users with the administrator<\/code> role bypass this plugin. They are not checked against Sheep, nor are their roles changed.<\/p>\n\n

This is an important and deliberate design consideration. It ensures your WordPress admin user(s) don't inadvertently gain or lose roles, which could cause issues managing your site.<\/p>\n\n

    Nothing. The user will continue to log in as normal. Their account and roles are not altered.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    I need online joining \/ renewals \/ member self-service... What can I do?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
