Administrators can use second factor to confirm granting admin access
without using email. The old method of confirmation via email is still
used as a fallback when second factor is unavailable.
* FIX: Revoking admin or moderator status doesn't require refresh to delete/anonymize/merge user
On the /admin/users/<id>/<username> page, there are action buttons that are either visible or hidden depending on a few fields from the AdminDetailsSerializer: `can_be_deleted`, `can_be_anonymized`, `can_be_merged`, `can_delete_all_posts`.
These fields are updated when granting/revoking admin or moderator status. However, those updates were not being reflected on the page. E.g. if a user is granted moderation privileges, the 'anonymize user' and 'merge' buttons still appear on the page, which is inconsistent with the backend state of the user. It requires refreshing the page to update the state.
This commit fixes that issue, by syncing the client model state with the server state when handling a successful response from the server. Now, when revoking privileges, the buttons automatically appear without refreshing the page. Similarly, when granting moderator privileges, the buttons automatically disappear without refreshing the page.
* Add detailed user response to spec for changed routes.
Add tests to verify that the revoke_moderation, grant_moderation, and revoke_admin routes return a response formatted according to the AdminDetailedUserSerializer.
We shouldn't be checking if a user is allowed to do an action in the logger. We should be checking it just before we perform the action. In fact, guardians in the logger can make things even worse in case of a security bug. Let's say we forgot to check user's permissions before performing some action, but we still have a call to the guardian in the logger. In this case, a user would perform the action anyway, and this action wouldn't even be logged!
I've checked all cases and I confirm that we're safe to delete this calls from the logger.
I've added two calls to guardians in admin/user_controller. We didn't have security bugs there, because regular users can't access admin/... routes at all. But it's good to have calls to guardian in these methods anyway, neighboring methods have them.
scopes are incredibly annoying to preload, simply adding :user_emails is not
enough.
Instead of relying on scopes simply iterate through user_emails which is
properly preloaded.
This removes 2 * N+1 when generating user reports.
This makes behavior consistent with documentation:
API:
> Will send an email with this message when present
Web UI:
> Optionally, provide more information about the suspension and it will be emailed to the user
We were sending 2 emails for user silencing if a message was provided in the UI. Also always send email for user silence and user suspend with reason regardless of whether message provided.
The 'Discourse SSO' protocol is being rebranded to DiscourseConnect. This should help to reduce confusion when 'SSO' is used in the generic sense.
This commit aims to:
- Rename `sso_` site settings. DiscourseConnect specific ones are prefixed `discourse_connect_`. Generic settings are prefixed `auth_`
- Add (server-side-only) backwards compatibility for the old setting names, with deprecation notices
- Copy `site_settings` database records to the new names
- Rename relevant translation keys
- Update relevant translations
This commit does **not** aim to:
- Rename any Ruby classes or methods. This might be done in a future commit
- Change any URLs. This would break existing integrations
- Make any changes to the protocol. This would break existing integrations
- Change any functionality. Further normalization across DiscourseConnect and other auth methods will be done separately
The risks are:
- There is no backwards compatibility for site settings on the client-side. Accessing auth-related site settings in Javascript is fairly rare, and an error on the client side would not be security-critical.
- If a plugin is monkey-patching parts of the auth process, changes to locale keys could cause broken error messages. This should also be unlikely. The old site setting names remain functional, so security-related overrides will remain working.
A follow-up commit will be made with a post-deploy migration to delete the old `site_settings` rows.
Users could be silenced or suspended by two staff members at the same time and
would not be aware of it. This commit shows an error message if another penalty
has been applied.
These fields are required when using the UI and if `suspend_until`
params isn't used the user never is actually suspended so we should
require these fields when suspending a user.
* DEV: Use `render_json_error` (Adds specs for Admin::GroupsController)
* DEV: Use a specific error on blank category slug (Fixes a `render_json_error` warning)
* DEV: Use a specific error on reviewable claim conflict (Fixes a `render_json_error` warning)
* DEV: Use specific errors in Admin::UsersController (Fixes `render_json_error` warnings)
* FIX: PublishedPages error responses
* FIX: TopicsController error responses (There was an issue of two separate `Topic` instances for the same record. This makes sure there's only one up-to-date instance.)
- Allow revoking keys without deleting them
- Auto-revoke keys after a period of no use (default 6 months)
- Allow multiple keys per user
- Allow attaching a description to each key, for easier auditing
- Log changes to keys in the staff action log
- Move all key management to one place, and improve the UI
`suspend` isn't a User attribute, but was being assigned to the frontend User model as if it was. The model has a computed property that depends on `suspended_till`, so instead of overriding this property, it's better to return relevant attributes.
Fixes a computed-property.override deprecation (https://emberjs.com/deprecations/v3.x#toc_computed-property-override)
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
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
If you turn it on now, default all users to approved since they were
previously. Also support approving a user that doesn't have a reviewable
record (it will be created first.)
This also includes a refactor to move class method calls to
`DiscourseEvent` into an initializer. Otherwise the load order of
classes makes a difference in the test environment and some settings
might be triggered and others not, randomly.
Conversely, if a user is deactivated the reviewable should automatically
be rejected.
Before this fix, if a user was not active they'd still show in the
review queue but without an "Approve" button which was confusing.
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.

This makes more sense than having the guardian take an accessor.
The logic belongs in the Serializer, where the JSON is calculated.
Also removed some of the DRYness in the spec. It's fewer lines
and made it easier to test the option on the serializer.
