Automatic emails to IT after user creation on the web-app #288

Open bw-faststream opened 4 years ago

bw-faststream commented 4 years ago

To prompt IT to put new users on the AD (CSV files sent over). Automatic emails seem like a sensible solution - but we'd need to think about a way to stop DDOS attacks (or similar) using this.

Could be combined in #138 if using Django email handling via a Turing SMTP account

tomdoel commented 4 years ago

Django's built-in email hadling can be used for this.

[ ] An email SMTP account needs to be provided, which can be configured through the app settings (which are set through provisioning).
[ ] An additional setting will need to be added to provide the sysadmin email address - this is already suggested as part of #138
[ ] Add an email template and send the email when the user(s) are added

In the move to #378 I doubt this applies
