It is fairly cumbersome way to add a new user to a multisite network

The Network admin Add New User form looks like this:

Network Admin Add New User WordPress

Network Admin Add New User WordPress

 

Adding a new user through a multisite sub site looks like this:

Network sub site Add New User WordPress

Network sub site Add New User WordPress

 

For a single site it looks like this:

Single-Site-Add-New-User-WordPress

 

I am working on a mockup to improve the existing network add new user experience.

Related trac tickets are:

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18163
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/36656

 

Here is a wireframe suggestion.

  1. Sites can not be shown next to checkboxes, so I need to find another way to show a potential huge sub sites list.
  2. How the heck can we select multiple users, then select the default role and then add them to specific sub sites?
Network Add New User + add user to site

Network Add New User + add user to site

 

I have also made a wireframe with a multi select drop down:

Network Add New User multi select drop down

Network Add New User including a multi select drop down

Editing existing users is probably better located in the All users screen then in the Add New user screen.

 

Here is a wireframe for adjusting the user role and adding users to various sub sites:

Multisite Network All Users screen

    We run WordPress as the central content management system for our university. Your proposed plugin is exactly what we want. Any plan to go forward with the plugin?

      Hi

      I created wireframe examples for the blog post. The Rest API will slowly be added to various aspects of Multisite. One of the things worked on is the aspect of adding a user to the multisite network. Check out this trac ticket which is being worked on: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18163
      You are welcome to test out the latest patch.

    I have the same issue, it’s time consuming to add user to each site. Do you have any plans to code this plugin?

      Hey KA

      Hopefully the multisite core group will work on it: https://wordpress.slack.com/messages/core-multisite/
      It has briefly come up lately, but I believe a lot of work is required.

      If your not on slack yet. Here is information to get started.

      Do join in and voice your opinions and help out if you can.
