Now I am building a multisite with Toolset, and I would like to custom role with Toolset control, but I met a small issue, when a user was created by a site, the user was "no role for this site" for other sites, as a user of multisites, this user has right to read contents from other sites, because I can restrict any content for specific user with a reminder content template, but any content templates can be specify for roles which have a role in WordPress, for "no role for this site", I cannot assign it with a content template, by default, will show them a default "page no found". do you guys consider set a whitelist and blacklist for access control plugin? it should be very easy to avoid this kind of embarrassment, By the way, could you please give a piece of code for this situation now? Thank you!
Hi Jeffrey,
Thank you for waiting.
I performed some tests and noticed that the way WordPress handles the "No role for this site" role, all capabilities are removed from that user and he/she is practically deactivated.
( ref: hidden link )
For this reason, if your goal is to have a user role with a minimum capability or rights, which can still be assigned a content template, you can create a new custom role (instead of "No role for this site") and fine-tune it as needed.
I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

Waqar
Hi Waqar,
Thank you so much for the reply, you mean I need to create a user role with capability as level 0 and assign a content template, so when users are "no role for this role", users will see the content template I have assigned? do I need to user the same slug as 'no role for this site'? do I need to use the same capability as that role? where can I see the capability of that role? Thank you so much!
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!
Hi Jeffrey,
Thanks for writing back and sorry about the delay, as we had an unusually busy queue, during the weekend.
To further clarify what I shared earlier, for your requirement you should not leave any user to the state "no role for this role".
As you noted, when a new user is added to a single site in the network with a particular role, that role is not automatically assigned to the other sites in the network.
For this, you can either manually add a custom created a role to that user from each site's admin area or use third-party plugins which can keep the user roles in sync across all sites.

Note: If you'd like to see this feature out-of-the-box in the Toolset Access plugin, you can submit it as a feature request at:

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
