Hi @crehiren

You can do that quite easily. For example, if you wanted to add a new role to the currently logged-in user then you could do this:

// Get a WP_User object for the current user.
$user = wp_get_current_user();

// Use the add_role() method to add the editor role to this user.
$user->add_role( 'editor' );
