This commit adds some protections in InviteRedeemer to ensure that email
can never be nil, which could cause issues with inviting the invited
person to private topics since there was an incorrect inner join.
If the email is nil and the invite is scoped to an email, we just use
that invite.email unconditionally. If a redeeming_user (an existing
user) is passed in when redeeming an email, we use their email to
override the passed in email. Otherwise we just use the passed in
email. We now raise an error after all this if the email is still nil.
This commit also adds some tests to catch the private topic fix, and
some general improvements and comments around the invite code.
This commit also includes a migration to delete TopicAllowedUser records
for users who were mistakenly added to topics as part of the invite
redemption process.
In certain situations, a logged in user can redeem an invite with an email that
either doesn't match the invite's email or does not adhere to the email domain
restriction of an invite link. The impact of this flaw is aggrevated
when the invite has been configured to add the user that accepts the
invite into restricted groups.
When a site has `SiteSetting.invite_only` enabled, we create a
`ReviewableUser`record when activating a user if the user is not
approved. Therefore, we need to approve the user when redeeming an
invite.
There are some uncertainties surrounding why a `ReviewableRecord` is
created for a user in an invites only site but this commit does not seek
to address that.
Follow-up to 7c4e2d33fa
This security fix affects sites which have `SiteSetting.must_approve_users`
enabled. There are intentional and unintentional cases where invited
users can be auto approved and are deemed to have skipped the staff approval process.
Instead of trying to reason about when auto-approval should happen, we have decided that
enabling the `must_approve_users` setting going forward will just mean that all new users
must be explicitly approved by a staff user in the review queue. The only case where users are auto
approved is when the `auto_approve_email_domains` site setting is used.

This commit adds token_hash and scopes columns to email_tokens table.
token_hash is a replacement for the token column to avoid storing email
tokens in plaintext as it can pose a security risk. The new scope column
ensures that email tokens cannot be used to perform a different action
than the one intended.
To sum up, this commit:
* Adds token_hash and scope to email_tokens
* Reuses code that schedules critical_user_email
* Refactors EmailToken.confirm and EmailToken.atomic_confirm methods
* Periodically cleans old, unconfirmed or expired email tokens
When a staged user tried to redeem an invite, a different username was
suggested and manually typing the staged username failed because the
username was not available.
Rails 6.1.3.1 deprecates a few API and has some internal changes that break our tests suite, so this commit fixes all the deprecations and errors and now Discourse should be fully compatible with Rails 6.1.3.1. We also have a new release of the rails_failover gem that's compatible with Rails 6.1.3.1.
When invited by email, users will receive an invite URL which contains
a token. If that token is present when the invite is redeemed, their
account will be automatically activated.
The user interface has been reorganized to show email and link invites
in the same screen. Staff has more control over creating and updating
invites. Bulk invite has also been improved with better explanations.
On the server side, many code paths for email and link invites have
been merged to avoid duplicated logic. The API returns better responses
with more appropriate HTTP status codes.
When the invite was being redeemed and the ReviewableUser record status
for the invited user was not pending an error was being raised.
This commit makes sure that we are only looking for ReviewableUser
record with status pending and updates that to approved.
* FEATURE: add setting `auto_approve_email_domains` to auto approve users
This commit adds a new site setting `auto_approve_email_domains` to
auto approve users based on their email address domain.
Note that if a domain already exists in `email_domains_whitelist` then
`auto_approve_email_domains` needs to be duplicated there as well,
since users won’t be able to register with email address that is
not allowed in `email_domains_whitelist`.
* Update config/locales/server.en.yml

* DEV: Replace User.unstage and User#unstage API with User#unstage!
Quoting @SamSaffron:
> User.unstage mixes concerns of both unstaging users and updating params which is fragile/surprising.
> u.unstage destroys notifications and raises a user_unstaged event prior to the user becoming unstaged and the user object being saved.
User#unstage! no longer updates user attributes and saves the object before triggering the `user_unstaged` event.
* Update one more spec
* Assign attributes after unstaging
DEV: deprecate `invite.via_email` in favor of `invite.emailed_status`
This commit adds a new column `emailed_status` in `invites` table for
tracking email sending status.
0 - not required
1 - pending
2 - bulk pending
3 - sending
4 - sent
For normal email invites, invite record is created with emailed_status
set to 'pending'.
When bulk invites are sent invite record is created with emailed_status
set to 'bulk pending'.
For invites that generates link, invite record is created with
emailed_status set to 'not required'.
When invite email is in queue emailed_status is updated to 'sending'
Once the email is sent via `InviteEmail` job the invite emailed_status
is updated to 'sent'.
There was a race condition when 2 invites existed for 1 user where in some
cases data from both invites would be used for the redeem. Depending on DB
ordering.
Fix is to delete duplicate invites earlier in the process prior to
`redeem_from_email` being called.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.

Do not send an activation email to users invited via email. They
already confirmed their email address by clicking the invite link.
Users invited via link will need to confirm their email address before
they can login.

If the user enters password when accepting invite they were not granted
trust level based on their group privileges. It was because `password_required` was set to true when creating user record and when the user was updated again when granting trust level the password validation was raising error saying that the password is empty. This commit fetches fresh user record after the user is created so that the user record can be updated successfully.
This commit fixes the case where invited users who typed in a password
would not be approved by default. Because we moved the user create logic
for an invited user there was a clash with the `save` in the user model
and the `save` in the invite_redeemer class.
- added approve logic into invite_redeemer class.
- added tests to verify that the user is approved
- added a check to see if must_approve_users is on
- added a check to see if the inviter is staff
- go ahead and approve the user if must_approve_users is off
- keep existing User.approve workflow if user exists
- improve if/else logic to remove duplicate code
- use `Time.zone.now`
