However, I can't add the value to $form_state['values']['roles'] because the function errors out if there is a roles array because it is seen as a 'malicious attempt to alter protected user fields.' Since that function then calls user_save, it seems that once the user is saved, I need to 1) load the user I just created, 2) add the role to the object, and 3) save it again. However, in order to call user_load, I need the uid, which isn't returned from user_register_submit. The only logical thing I can think to do is query the users table with the user name I just created (entered as part of the form), get the rid, and then call user_load and do my thing.<br><br>Is there a better (and easier) way to do this that I'm missing, or am I on the right track?<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>Steve</div></div></div></div></span></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
