#34655 closed enhancement (wontfix)

Allow pre-filtering of role changes on WP_User

Description

It would be useful to have pre-filters for WP_User::set_role() and friends, so a plugin could monitor or block certain roles from being applied.

For example, on multisite, it may be desirable to prevent roles from being changed on certain blogs.

34655.2.diff​ refreshes the patch to apply cleanly against trunk, makes some coding style tweaks.

In set_role(), it's possible to send an empty role, which will cause all user roles to be removed. This existing behaviour is incompatible with the short-circuit behaviour we're after.
