User status across Multisite

We have a Multisite network. On one of the subsites, call it Site A ,we need to dynamically find out if a User is logged into the Network elsewhere and if so elevate them to Level 0 or better 1 on Site A without having to register them on Site A itself.

It seems that logged on Users in Multisite have Subscriber status throughout, and as your Levels are based on that it should be possible to attach a Level to such a User?

Level 0 doesn’t seem to pick them up on testing.

We are therefore proposing an Action with user_access_level as the hook, but need a suggestion for the most suitable function to elevate the Level programmatically please. We don’t need to have multiple Levels, just one.

Hi Rob.

The login session accross the network is not something s2Member handles, you’ll need to search how it’s done in WP multisite, I’m not very familiar with that.

This article may help with the role change using PHP: Knowledge Base » Changing Roles/Capabilities via PHP.

Actually, it may be better if you found to share the users between the blogs in the network, so it’ll be the same account with the role across the network. Maybe there’s a plugin for that?

Sorry I couldn’t help more with this.

By the way, are you giving blogs to the users or you just use multisite to manage your content and users don’t get their own blogs? If you use s2Member Pro in a network where users get their blogs, you’ll need the Network Support license. http://www.s2member.com/prices/#s2-terms-blog-farming

If you need to upgrade, you can do it just paying the difference with the one you have. You’ll find an upgrade link in your Account page. http://www.s2member.com/account/ :)
