Can I auto generate user based on another application?

Question

Can I auto create/login user based on the application I am implementing this into?

Preferably using the same user table.. but not required.

Has anyone done this?

Answer 1

Yes, you have three possible ways to do this:

1. Use single-sign on integration to directly use your site's existing user database together with Q2A.
2. Implement a plugin with a login module to automatically create a Q2A account for users who are already logged in to your site.
3. Use Q2A's user management functions in qa-app-users-edit.php to keep Q2A's user database synchronized with your own.

The right approach depends on your needs.
