Assign drupal tags automatically

This seems very intuitive but I can't seem to get it.

When creating a new article, how do I assign tags automatically based on the authors role? I've tried various modules, but none of them worked in this way that I need.

Is the best way to go into the module file, check the current role of the author, then set the value of the tag? Im not that familiar with drupal, so I'm not entirely sure where/how to do that and if that's the best way.

Thanks for any input!

There are various options for this. The ones that I am most familiar with are:

  1. Open Calais: Developed by Thomson Reuters, this module/service can assign several configurable tags to a content entity ranging from subject areas and topics to names of people and locations. Very comprehensive.

  2. Rules tagging: A more light weight approach, but not as powerful as Calais.

  3. Text mining API: This one relies on the Ouch project for auto tagging.

There is a very good article on Drupal.org giving a comparison of such modules. Maybe that should be your starting point.
