you set the default role in dashboard>settings>forums and when the users first log in the will get it allocated.

or go to

Dashboard>users>and amend their profile

or if you want to do it programmatically or directly in the database, then in usermeta you additionally set

wp_capabilities which already has their wordpress role, so you just add it to the array

to say

a:2:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;}

a:2:{s:10:”subscriber”;b:1;s:15:”bbp_participant”;b:1;}

a:2:{s:6:”editor”;b:1;s:13:”bbp_moderator”;b:1;}
