Sharing users, but not roles.

Hi, I have a multisite setup with shared users but no shared content. What I want to figure out now, is a way to share the users across sites, but have the user be of different roles depending on the site.

For example, the New York director would be admin at newyork.com, but not at chicago.com. What is the best way to do this? Thanks.

Some pointers

permission & role - shared if you want roles to behave similarly on all sites

speculating - if role and user tables are shared, the user_roles table could still be separate (who belongs to which role on that site)

Watch out for blocks_roles and user_roles

Thank you very much, that

Thank you very much, that helps a lot! I didn't understand that was what user_roles is, thank you!
