[patch] Adding authors to admin blog

[welshpixie]

Using BP 1.2.1 and WPMU 2.9.1.1.

I've added a couple of users to the main blog as authors to make posts to the main site's blog. They can access the dashboard from site/wp-admin/ and everything functions as expected there, but from their buddypress profiles they are not affiliated with the blog (it shows 0 blogs created) and when logged in to the site the blog is not listed from the top admin bar under 'My Blogs'.

If I add the user as a site admin from /wp-admin/wpmu-options.php then the user has the blog listed in their profile and from My Blogs - but then of course it gives them full admin access to the installation.

Is it possible to add a user as an author to the main blog so that it affiliates them with the blog from their BP profile, but without having to give them full admin status?

Bumping to major.

Could be related to #2055.

I can attest that this happens when you add users to any blogs on the site. If they weren't a member of the blog when registering with BP, the blogs won't show up under their "My Blogs" list.
