User Linking
While User Linking is its own menu within the plugin navigation, it specifically deals with user accounts and products assigned to those users.
There are 3 conditions which will add a product to a user's account:
- A user completes a transaction on a project by backing a reward level through the checkout form and associated payment gateway(s),
- A product is automatically assigned to the user account upon registration with the site, or
- A product is manually assigned to the user account by an admin user.
Note: A user will only appear on the User Linking table if there has been a product assigned to their account if conditions 1 and/or 2 have been completed.
If the manual assignment of products for the purpose of changing user permissons is needed, it is suggested that a "registration" product (condition 2) is used to ensure the user appears on the table.
See How to use Products to Manage Members for more details.
