Hi this is just a friendly request.

Last year in october I posted a question about allowing multiple user roles to a user within access.

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-can-i-add-a-user-account-to-a-custom-role-in-access/#post-447780

A membership site needs to be able to grant access to posts belonging to a membership, and a user can get multiple memberships, which actually creates the need to be able to apply multiple roles to a user.

This is not possible in Access. But is this on the TODO list?

Until then I will have to continue to use a dedicated membership plugin.

Hi Henrik,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Unfortunately our plugin doesn't have this functionality but I was able to stumble upon the plugin below.

Could you try this and let me know the results.
Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane.

I know Access does not support multiple roles / user. Thats why I created the friendly request 🙂

You have a tutorial on wp-types website:

https://toolset.com/learn/create-membership-site-wordpress-using-toolset-plugins/

But in order to be able to build a real membership site, you need to be able to apply a "right" to a user upon purchase of a specific product.

And if you use Access you can only control access by linking a user role to a content group. But this is too limited to really being able to use Access for a membership site.

Because a user can purchase product a, b and c.

Each product grants him rights to a specific membership which in access terminology is a user role.

But since multiple user roles are not possible in Access, you can't have a granulated access / membership configuration with Toolset Access.

So really it is a feature request in order to be able to build membership sites where a user can have multiple memberships.

Hope to see it soon then, because it is limiting the usage of Access.
