I have 2 sites, site a and site b. They have separated user roles and i will assign roles in 2 sites separately.

I didn't check the setting of "Attempt to match roles", but the user roles still sync when I edit the user info.

Is it a bug?

Thank you.

I think you might be confusing the "Attempt to match roles" function just like I did.

This module will sync roles regardless of this setting. If you have the box unchecked, it will duplicate the roles by role number. If the roles across all your sites use the same role id number, then everything will mach up nicely.

If your many drupal installations have roles where they do not match up correctly by role ID, then sync has no idea, and might give a "view only" client role uid 3 on site A, to a "content editor" role uid 3 on the other site.

So checking this box attempts to match up the roles based on what the role is names, rather than the role id.. so it is supposed to match "Content creator" role ID 5 on Site A, should get matched to "Content creator" role ID 12 on Site B.

I however didn't see this feature to work, and would enable all roles on my remote site. My work around was to match the role id's on both of my sites.
