We would like to change User role of some users from 'Member' to 'Verified Member', without needing administrator access to the website. Is this achievable using a front-end form?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Normally, You can use the Toolset Form hook cred_save_data in order to update the user role for the current user you are editing or creating.

For example - following is the sample code:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'func_update_user_role_action',10,2);
function func_update_user_role_action($user_id, $form_data) {
 
if ($form_data['id'] == 9999) {
// modify the user role to match the selected option
$u = new WP_User( $user_id );
$u->remove_role( 'pending' );   /// adjust role name here if needed
$u->add_role( 'custom_role_slug' );
}
}

Where:
- Replace 9999 with your original User form ID.
- replace custom_role_slug with your role slug
