Good afternoon

I'm trying to suss out CiviGroup Roles Sync - I've activated the module and set up some associations, yet I can't seem to find where/when the sync takes place. For example I've set up the association:

Head of Network (Drupal Role) -> Head of Network (Civi Group)

But all of those users with HoN Role already in the system (around 50) do not appear in the HoN Group. I guessed this was because there was nothing to trigger the association so I went to a user in Drupal and added them to the HoN Role, yet they're still not in the Group.

I then added someone to the Group, and VOILA! They have the Role of HoN. So, is this a one way sync? I understood from the readme that it was two way but it doesn't appear to work from the drupal side. Also - is there any way to run the associations on exisiting users with roles already assigned so that they join the group?

Finally is there any documentation on this module other than the readme file? I searched thoroughly and couldn't find it even mentioned in the documentation wiki and very little here on the forum. I would be happy to try and put this up should I actually work out exactly how it works!

Thanks guys,

Adam

Just in case it helps others, and in case you missed this - I did first time round - but the update of the role for the user only occurs when that user logs in.

However my testing is showing that when the role is added by synch it is overwriting existing roles rather than preserving them.
