The prompts
Prompt 1
I need to manage WordPress users using WP-CLI. I have a CSV file with user data including username, email, and role. Can you generate a WP-CLI script to import these users and assign the correct roles based on the CSV data? The CSV file has headers 'username', 'email', and 'role'. The roles should map to WordPress roles such as 'subscriber', 'editor', or 'administrator'. Please output the script in a format that is directly executable in WP-CLI. Ensure error handling is included, such as checking if the user already exists before attempting to create it.
Prompt 2
I want to update the roles of existing users in my WordPress site using WP-CLI. I have a list of usernames and their new roles. Can you generate a WP-CLI script to iterate through this list and update each user's role accordingly? The input data should be in a simple text format, with each line containing the username and the new role separated by a comma (e.g., 'john_doe,editor'). Ensure the script includes error checking, such as verifying that the user exists before attempting to update their role. Also, include safeguards to prevent accidental demotion of the administrator account.
