    Hello,
    I understand what are Roles and Capabilities but I don’t understand how to link it or attribute a role to an entry.
    When I create an entry, I can’t see where I can give him a role.

    Plus, is there a way to make an entry become a wp user for the website?

    Thanks for the answer.

    re: When I create an entry, I can’t see where I can give him a role.

    Roles and capabilities are not assigned to an entry. The settings allow you as an admin to control the roles and capabilities a user may be permitted to have to perform action in Connections. Generally, you should only change the defaults if you are linking a WP user to a Connections entry so they can edit “their” entry. To add links (automatically based on email address) you would use the Link extension.

    re: Plus, is there a way to make an entry become a wp user for the website?

    Sorry, no, but you could use the CSV export tool to export the entries and then use a CSV Import User plugin to import the users.

    Hope that answers your questions thoroughly!

    Thanks Steven,
    Everything is clear now.

    Just a last question to be sure: Link extension create a link between an existing WP user and an existing Connections entry or can it also create an entry for the WP user?

    Sorry, no not at this time. I have added this to my feature request list though as it does make for another very useful feature for Link.
