Maybe I’m not understanding, not maybe, definitely, not understanding the whole roles and user blogs relationship within Multisite and Buddypress. I’m getting all kinds of craziness happening Seen here and now after years of registering users and blogs being created and adding users to some sub sites and not others, I’m left with users belonging to some sites not others, some where superadmin is a “hidden” admin on some subsites where he can’t be removed! And I’m just confused to how all of this is “supposed” to be set up right where I don’t get the “as seen here” issue above. I’m gettting some users who don’t even get assigned a primary blog at all while others get assigned a random site as their primary blog. I just want to get to a point where all admin sites are well managed as far as users go and where user blogs are clear of random subscribers, where everyone is either admin to their own blog or they belong to the mainsite and all is good.

What is the best way to have roles assigned to users on a buddypress multisite install.

I would think all members should belong to the main site at registration, right? Not any other admin site in the network. At least just the main site.

Once,if, the member creates a blog, that particular blog becomes that members primary site, right?

If a user contributes a post to any other site in the network, does that site become part of that user’s sites? as seen on wp-admin/network/users.php where users get listed a column called “Sites” with blogs they’ve somehow become part of.

When I activate/reactivate buddypress what happens that chaos occurs to my wp_bp_user_blogs table where users begin getting assigned different blogs that they are not admin on. And superadmin blogs begin getting dropped from the table all together.

What should a regular user’s role be in a buddypress multisite network? What the heck is “member” and “inactive” role.

Why do users have to be assigned a role to be recognized as an author on another blog on a network? I have many sites in network that have frontend posting forms where users can submit posts. I trust that because they are part of the network that this would be no big deal…often times I need to add this user to the specific blog for different authoring things to work properly and for the member to be recognized as the author. So that’s where I have to add members to sites that begins to muck things up in the questions above.

how can I reset the primary_blog in the wp_usermeta table for all users to be the main site?

How can i reset the blogs and userids in the wp_bp_user_blogs table to be only superadmin and his blogs & users and their blogs that they are admins on…ONLY.

How is all this related within the world of bp!? It’s causing me a lot of pain right now! Please help. Can someone point to a BP Multisite User Roles for Dummies post somewhere? And also a plugin that will “force” user roles to all network members the way I want them.
