using below settings.
Finding user attributes

Test Configuration.
-
You will see all the values returned by your OAuth Provider to WordPress
in a table. If you don't see value for Email or Username, etc. make the
required settings in your OAuth Provider to return this information.
-
Once you see all the values in Test Configuration, go to
Attribute / Role Mapping tab, you will get the list of
attributes in a Username dropdown.
4. Role Mapping [Premium]
-
Click on “Test Configuration” and you will get the list of Attribute
Names and Attribute Values that are sent by your OAuth provider.

From the Test Configuration window, map the Attribute Names in the Attribute

Enable Role Mapping: To enable Role Mapping, you need to map Group
Name Attribute. Select the attribute name from the list of attributes which
returns the roles from your provider application.
Eg: Role
-
Assign WordPress role to the Provider role: Based on your provider
application, you can allocate the WordPress role to your provider roles. It
can be a student, teacher, administrator or any other depending on your
application. Add the provider roles under Group Attribute Value and assign
the required WordPress role in front of it under WordPress Role.
For example, in the below image. Teacher has been assigned the role of Administrator &
Student is assigned the role of Subscriber.
-
Once you save the mapping, the provider role will be assigned the WordPress
administrator role after SSO.
Example: As per the given example,
Users with role ‘teacher’ will be added as Administrator in WordPress and
‘student’ will be added as Subscriber.
