It's intentional for WordPress to be broken? Because that is how it
appears to regular users, as things stand.
> Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to have per-weblog roles and
capabilities.
Then one chooses not to define CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE (and the pseudo
prefix constant I suggest above). You see we '''already''' provide a way
for users to override "per-weblog roles and capabilities," but it does not
work as advertised.
>If you want them to be synced, you should write a script that syncs
permissions across the other blogs upon them being changed in any of the
blogs.
I'll be sure to pass that suggestion along to users in the support forums.
That is, after they've posted about defining CUSTOM_USER_TABLE and
CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE and still being unable to get in with their primary
installation's logins.
