Hi,
I am working on a project using Group module. I need to assign a group role to a member programmatically.

I could figure out to get the group roles of a membership using loadByUserGroup() of group role storage class. But I am kind of lost in finding a way to set additional roles. Couldn't figure out an appropriate setter method.

I am pretty new to drupal.org, just learning things the hard way & enjoying it :-). I hope I am asking this question in the right forum.

Hope to find some guidance soon.

Thank you.

I am able to add a member to a group using
$group->addMember($account, $values);
But I am not able to add any roles. Sadly, I am stuck at this point.

Go through this link https://www.drupal.org/node/2839968.

$group = Group::load($id), $id is the id of the group

I can add new members to the group using $group->addMember but can not set the $values parameter to include a role for the new member.
The member is added but without any roles.
Any help in setting the $values array will be appreciated.

To add a role you have to define the $values array like this

$roles = array('role1', 'role2');
$values = ['group_roles' => $roles];

As I couldn't find a solution soon enough, I had used some other logic to work around the situation.

But sure, many thanks for the guidance, very much useful in future!

Thank you.
