Feature Request: Add "user role" to the query API

[bacoords]

Feature request idea, though not sure how feasible it actually is. Add a "user role" parameter to the query API and blueprints API. As of now, the only Playground experience as an admin.

Use cases:
A WordPress demo or teaching experience where you want to launch Playground as an editor or author.
Testing PRs (especially from Guteberg) where the role of the user effects their ability to perform tasks.
Demoing plugins with a custom role type that is specific to that plugin (SEO or Store Owner for example)

That indeed sounds useful @bacoords! I know this isn't as handy as a query API parameter, but perhaps a custom blueprint would be helpful? For example:

{
  "landingPage": "/wp-admin/",
  "steps": [
    {
      "step": "runPHP",
      "code": "<?php require '/wordpress/wp-load.php'; $user_id = wp_create_user('myuser', 'mypass', 'myuser@localhost'); (new WP_User($user_id))->set_role('editor');"
    },
    {
      "step": "login",
      "username": "myuser",
      "password": "mypass"
    }
  ]
}

Thanks @adamziel I completely forgot that you could pass the Blueprint API via the URL - that's basically what I was wanting.

I think if this were to remain an open issue, the feature request would maybe be something like changing the login step to allowing a user role or other user info than username/password?

But since it can be done via runPHP, you could definitely close the issue (and if anyone comes looking for how to do it, at least this will be here).
