Adding role to many users

[Manaus]

Hello,

I need to add the guest role to so many users I just added [using a csv] to $users pool, is there any way to make it from the backend?

I'm also trying to code it, but I don't know how to make up the selector

$usersWithoutRole = $users->find("roles*=gooduser,roles!*=guest, roles!=superuser")

Thanks

You can write that as something like this (pipe symbol | means OR):

$usersWithoutRole = $users->find("roles!=gooduser|guest|superuser");

You don't need to try and partial match if you know the exact names of the roles.

If you just want to make sure every user has the guest role though, just re-add it regardless of whether they have it or not like this:

foreach ($users as $u) {
    $u->addRole('guest');
    $u->save();
}
