inSided SSO attributes not mapped new member rank stuck at new user level

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in inSided SSO by acting on the exact problem first: open the SSO attribute mapping in inSided, map the role or group attribute the identity provider actually sends to the rank field, sign in with a test account that carries that attribute, and confirm the member lands above the new user rank before fixing affected members in bulk. Do not rerun the whole job or queue unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one post, thread, report or batch first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

SSO attributes not mapped - new member rank stuck at new user level

Use this when

• The operation in inSided SSO fails with this exact message or symptom: SSO attributes not mapped - new member rank stuck at new user level.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• Moderation, routing, auditing or a member facing community task is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is an outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with a moderation judgment or content quality. That is a policy review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in inSided SSO, and copy the full message plus the post, thread, report or member involved into the run notes. Verify: the problem is reproduced on demand with a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: open the SSO attribute mapping in inSided, map the role or group attribute the identity provider actually sends to the rank field, sign in with a test account that carries that attribute, and confirm the member lands above the new user rank before fixing affected members in bulk. Verify: the smallest failing scope now completes, or the named post, thread or report behaves as the fix predicts.
3. Check the neighbouring posts, threads, reports or members that share the same setting, rule or workflow, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in inSided SSO on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
5. Compare the result counts or status against the source in inSided SSO so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

Rank on first login comes from the mapped SSO attributes, so an attribute sent under a different name than the mapping expects is ignored and every new member defaults to the starting rank.

How to fix - inSided SSO attributes not mapped new member rank stuck at new user level

The how to phrasing for the same failure in inSided SSO. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

inSided SSO troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full message. Surface the full message first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Edge cases

• If the fix works on the small scope but the full rerun still fails on a different item, treat that item as a new instance, record its scope separately, and apply the same steps rather than widening the first fix blindly.
• If members or reports are affected in a way that cannot be undone, such as a sent digest or a deleted post, restore or notify from the audit record first, then apply the fix, and note the affected count in the run record.
• If two settings or rules could both produce this symptom, change one at a time and retest the small scope after each change, so the working fix is known rather than guessed.

Compatibility: inSided SSO at current versions, plus the admin console, moderation queue or API the query names; no extra tooling beyond the source system access needed to verify counts.

TL;DR

Fix this in Discourse by acting on the exact problem first: open the member record in Discourse admin, compare their stats against the trust level requirements for days visited, topics viewed, posts read and likes given and received, find the one metric below threshold, and check whether a staff lock or a demotion flag is pinning the level before telling the member what is missing.

Why it happens

Trust levels advance only when every requirement in the level table is met at once, and a single short metric or a manual staff lock holds the member at the lower level with its limits.

TL;DR

Fix this in Discourse by acting on the exact problem first: fix the stall by reading the trust level progress on the user admin page, identifying the exact unmet requirement, and removing any manual lock if staff set one, then confirm the promotion job has run, because editing posts or adding likes at random never moves a member whose blocker is a lock or a visits metric.

Why it happens

Promotion is evaluated by a scheduled job against the full requirement set, so a member can be active daily and still stall on one unseen metric such as topics entered or a staff applied lock.
