The process was as follows:

First, we added a field to our Active Directory, where we related each user to the WordPress role.

Then we downloaded that database from Active Directory to WordPress, syncing users and their WordPress roles

Also, once a day, WordPress syncs with Active Directory by rewriting the database with the modifications for that day.

Therefore, taking into account that the database is overwritten every day, I think that the most logical thing would be for bbpress to automatically assign the forum role of “Participant” to all users, except the administrator.

Yes, users were imported from Active Directory, and WordPress user roles were synchronized from an Active Directory group created for this purpose.

Sorry, I don’t know very well how this forum works … who will you ask for help? Will I receive an answer in this post or should I look for it somewhere else?

Thanks for your help and for your patience.

I have that plugin installed and it is working.

But what I would like (but I don’t know if it is possible) is that there is only one Keymaster (the administrator of WordPress) and the rest of the users are Participants by default, being able to create and respond to topics.

Active Directory updates the database daily, adding or deleting users. This database also synchronizes the WordPress roles of each user. But the bbpress forum roles do not appear in our Active Directory …

Would forum roles need to be synced from a specific Active Directory field?

Would this help the role “Participant” have the permissions it should have?

This intranet was developed by an external agency with whom we no longer have contact.

I have run into this problem since the project was handed over to us.

Is there no place in bbpress to determine the actions that each role can take? Do you know if the “Participant” role can by default create topics and reply to messages?

Thanks for your help.

In addition to bbpress, the intranet incorporates other functionalities: static pages, blog, messaging, gamification …

Regarding the second question,

I go to the Users section of the WordPress backoffice, and once there I select all the users and go to the top tab: “Change forum role to …” and select “Participant”.

So that role assigns me well, but when Active Directory syncs again, those roles disappear, leaving it blank. This happens to me even though in Settings – Forums I have “Participant” selected in the “Roles” option.

Hi Robin,

Thanks for your answer.

Sorry for not showing the site, but it is a private Intranet that requires you to be an authorized user.

If a user with a Participant role tries to create a topic, the following message appears:

“You cannot create new topics.”

Similarly, when a user with a Participant role tries to reply to a previously created message, the following message appears:

“You cannot reply to this topic.”
