How to change the Wordpress role assigned through "Create User Record" function

Question

When using the "Create User Record" function on a CiviCRM Contact record, a wordpress (or other CMS) user is created.

How can the default wordpress/CMS role of that user be modified in CiviCRM? By default it seems to be "Subscriber". Is it possible to add other roles (in CiviCRM or in the CMS)?

Answer 1

It seems to be hardcoded to the default role: https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/blob/79ac44cf780f867e37ed2c11cc7e9855ec6df5e0/CRM/Utils/System/WordPress.php#L873

You can configure the default role in the wordpress admin pages.
