## Code

```php
if ( ! is_multisite() ) {
    return;
}

$wpide_role = 'subscriber'; // Role on the main site.

$wpide_add = function ( $user_id ) use ( $wpide_role ) {
    $main = get_main_site_id();

    if ( ! is_user_member_of_blog( $user_id, $main ) ) {
        add_user_to_blog( $main, $user_id, $wpide_role );
    }
};

add_action( 'wpmu_new_user', $wpide_add );
add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', $wpide_add );
```

## Notes

Change $wpide_role. Users who are already members of the main site are left alone.
