Configure open edX retirement #1007

Closed pdpinch closed 1 year ago

pdpinch commented 2 years ago

User Story

As an admin, I need to be able to retire a user who requests their account be deleted. There is a management command for this. Eventually, we'd like to access this feature via API, through mitxonline and xPRO.

See, for example, https://github.com/mitodl/mitxonline/issues/697

Description/Context

Based on the error message:

[openedx.core.djangoapps.user_api.management.commands.retire_user] [user None] [ip None] retire_user.py:97 - 500 error deactivating account Default state does not exist! Populate retirement states to retire users.
CommandError: 500 error deactivating account Default state does not exist! Populate retirement states to retire users.

it seems that some additional configuration is necessary.

There is a blog post that might help, at https://opencraft.com/blog/demystifying-user-retirement-in-the-open-edx-platform/

Acceptance Criteria

Reading through the post it seems like the only thing we're missing is running the management command

I just ran that command against the courses-qa.mitxonline.mit.edu environment so that we can test the behavior before moving to production with it.

It's likely that we'll need to expand on the set of states that we have configured to account for Forum at minimum.
