connectStaffMemberToUser( )

Connects staff member to a Wix user.

By default the staff member's email is used to connect to the user. If the email is already associated with a Wix user with roles and permissions to access the site, the staff member is connected to that user. If the email is not associated with a Wix user, or the Wix user is not associated with the site, an invitation is sent to the email to join the site.

Connecting a staff member to a user gives access to the user to manage the staff's schedule via the Wix backoffice.

The status of a staff member's connection is stored in the associatedWixIdentity field, and can be fetched using the requested field ASSOCIATED_IDENTITY_STATUS.

The status of a connection can be one of the following:

• CONNECTED - The staff member is connected to a Wix user.
• PENDING - An invitation was sent to the user to connect to the staff member.
• EXPIRED - The invitation to connect to the staff member has expired.
• DISCONNECTED - The staff member is not connected to a user.
