change user email #340

Closed jc06700 closed 6 years ago

jc06700 commented 9 years ago

Transfered from seafile issue (https://github.com/haiwen/seafile/issues/1011)

A new idea/feature ? The possibility to change user email (either from the user interface or from the admin user settings)

ghost commented 9 years ago

That would be great and useful.

mcfly commented 7 years ago

i understand this is a open request to do so? Are there any ways to actually change a user's email?

jc06700 commented 7 years ago

You must change/replace manually all references in your databases

ccnet-db EmailUser UserRole
seafile-db RepoOwner RepoUserToken
seahub-db api2_tokenv2 avatar_avatar base_clientlogintoken base_userlastlogin notifications_usernotification options_useroptions profile_detailedprofile profile_profile 1

Regards

it's a shame that changing email address for users is not available yet by using GUI.

vmario89 commented 6 years ago

i am using SQlite and changed by hand many files with absolutely zero effect:

config.db
groupmgr.db
seafile.db
seahub.db
usermgr.db

i changed all email addresses of the user to the new mail but account login still only worked with old email. restarting seafile/seahub did not change it. restarting whole system with same less effect.

From version 6.2, you can change a user's reference ID. You can set a user's reference ID to a new email address. And user can use this new email to login. The admin can set a user's reference ID in the web UI.

hello, i installed 6.2.3 and there's no edit button for email address: grafik

maybe ive overseen this because its unusual to set a reference id instead overwrite the original email address

From version 6.2, you can change a user's reference ID ...

Just updated to seafile-server-6.2.4 It Works perfectly Indeed, admin can set an ID for users. So that user can login with the ID, instead of email.

I also do like a new feature : the 2 authentication factor. Very great job. Congrats to Seafile Team. The tool is better every release !

That's fine... but what happens if a user who owns that email address tries to request a password reset with the email address? Will they be able to reset the password if they receive the email? I think that is what is concerning people with this inability to change that email address.
