Allow users to check authority email address #8264

Open garethrees opened 1 month ago

garethrees commented 1 month ago

A potential replacement for https://github.com/mysociety/alaveteli/pull/8263.

Some users or authority staff may wish to check whether we're using the correct email address for an authority. Previously we'd just show the email address, but that's too open to abuse.

Instead we could allow the user to enter the expected address, which we then compare to our records. If the addresses don't match, we can point them towards the change request form.

If they are wanting to monitor that it is up to date, could we let them sign up to get an alert if we change it? A bit like the land registry do for property charges etc.

And/or could do something similar to the request event history page.
