Hi @dzonivejin,

Thanks for the post.

You can hook into the acf/pre_save_post filter and then change the user roles using the WP_User class. A user’s role can be set by creating an instance of the WP_user class, and calling the add_role() or remove_role() methods.

The code would look like so:

$u = new WP_User( $user_id );

// Remove role
$u->remove_role( 'subscriber' );

// Add role
$u->add_role( 'editor' );
