1. Which option should I select and are there a potential permission limits to be concerned with eg. Enabled, (Full Profile) vs. (Mapped Fields). I am really only concerned with name and email. The whole purpose is just to make it easier for users to login.
If the purpose is to make it easier to login then don't resynchronize at all.
2. I am correct in understanding the purpose of Resynchronize is that is matches up fields so the website user account is the same as what they have in the social account?
It forces the profile data from whatever social platform they logged in from to replace their existing data.
3. Does the Resynchronize only happen when they first link (link tab) and every time they login (login tab)?
There's separate parameters for both so it can happen on both, either/or, or neither.
4. If so, and I have disabled editing the first and last name on the site, will it cause sync issues?
It will synchronize first and last name. It does not care about field access permissions when synchronizing data.
5. Should I also be enabling the Resynchronize in the Login tab as well?
I don't recommend enabling resynchronizing at all for your usage.
6. Should leave the extra “Permissions” blank as the plugin already asked the the required ones. Any more could result in errors
Yes, you should only request the minimum permissions needed and by default it requests what it needs for basic profile data.
7. For usergoups, should I leave this empty since CBSubs is handling usergroup assignments within each plan?
Yes.
9. What should I put for Approval? I am guessing setting it to no means no other approval is required and I just let CBSubs do it thing?
The point of CB Connect is they have been verified already by the other social platforms so yes leave approval to no so it skips requiring approval.
10. For Confirmation, Avatar Approval, Canvas Approval, I gather its safest to just leave it as Default?
Yes.
11. I am uncertain whether I need the username format to be adjusted. In my case, I am likely only going to enable Facebook, Google and LinkedIn, none of which have usernames (I don’t think).
A user still needs a username. If it's a new registration it will generate one based off the data available. Usually based off their name if no username like data is available.
12. For Fields is this the mapping function to connect social into with the user info? Do I need to fill this out if I am only really interested in the full name and email?
Do not map core fields like name, email, avatar, or canvas. Those are already handled if that data is available. Field Mapping is for mapping other non-core data like date of birth, gender, etc..
13. I am a little hesitant to map avatar and canvas images since the aspect ratios, and other setting differ. I am not terribly concerned it these do no get pulled in/synced.
Do not map avatar or canvas. They are core fields already handled by CB Connect.
14. Is there any documentation/tutorials on the App set up for the social accounts? I know each platform has there own way of setting up social login apps.
Only for a few of the providers, which you can find below.
