I’m importing users from a Windows AD directory and would like to assign secondary roles based on a meta field.

I tried adding a hook in functions.php and seemingly the roles are being added to the database, but not showing up in the editor front-end.

Could you please help me? Here’s the code:

function assign_secondary_role($user_id) {
    // Retrieve the secondary role from user meta
    $secondary_role = get_user_meta($user_id, 'user_depto', true);

    // Map the secondary role to its role key
    $role_mapping = [
        'T.i.' => 'ti',
        'Diretoria Executiva' => 'diretoria_executiva',
        'Marketing' => 'marketing'
    ];

    if (isset($role_mapping[$secondary_role])) {

        // Get existing roles
        $existing_roles = get_user_meta($user_id, 'wpfront_urole_secondary', true);

        if (!is_array($existing_roles)) {
            $existing_roles = [];
        }

        // Add the new secondary role
        $existing_roles[] = $role_mapping[$secondary_role];
        update_user_meta($user_id, 'wpfront_urole_secondary', $existing_roles);

        // Ensure roles are refreshed properly
        delete_user_meta($user_id, '_wpfront_user_role_cache'); // Clear WPFront cache
        clean_user_cache($user_id); // Clear WP cache
        
        // Force WPFront to reapply the role
        do_action('wpfront_user_role_update', $user_id);

        // Manually refresh user roles
        $user = new WP_User($user_id);
        $user->get_role_caps(); // Force reload of capabilities

        error_log("Assigned roles after update: " . print_r(get_user_meta($user_id, 'wpfront_urole_secondary', true), true));
        error_log("Secondary role '{$role_mapping[$secondary_role]}' assigned to user ID {$user_id}.");

    } else {
        error_log("No secondary role found for user ID {$user_id}.");
    }
}

// Hook into user profile update
add_action('profile_update', function($user_id) {
    assign_secondary_role($user_id);
});
