There are certain design decisions that were made in this commit.
Private messages implements its own version of topic tracking state because there are significant differences between regular and private_message topics. Regular topics have to track categories and tags while private messages do not. It is much easier to design the new topic tracking state if we maintain two different classes, instead of trying to mash this two worlds together.
One MessageBus channel per user and one MessageBus channel per group. This allows each user and each group to have their own channel backlog instead of having one global channel which requires the client to filter away unrelated messages.
Will show the last 6 seen users as filtering suggestions when typing @ in quick search. (Previously the user suggestion required a character after the @.)
This also adds a default limit of 6 to the user search query, previously the backend was returning 20 results but a maximum of 6 results was being shown anyway.
User flair was given by user's primary group. This PR separates the
two, adds a new field to the user model for flair group ID and users
can select their flair from user preferences now.
Some specs failed when `LOAD_PLUGINS=1` was set while migrating the test DB and the narrative-bot plugin disabled the `send_welcome_message` site setting.
Over the years we accrued many spelling mistakes in the code base.
This PR attempts to fix spelling mistakes and typos in all areas of the code that are extremely safe to change
- comments
- test descriptions
- other low risk areas
If the "use_site_small_logo_as_system_avatar" setting is enabled, the site's small logo is displayed as the selected option by the avatar-selector. Choosing a different avatar disables the setting.
This PR allows invitations to be used when the DiscourseConnect SSO is enabled for a site (`enable_discourse_connect`) and local logins are disabled. Previously invites could not be accepted with SSO enabled simply because we did not have the code paths to handle that logic.
The invitation methods that are supported include:
* Inviting people to groups via email address
* Inviting people to topics via email address
* Using invitation links generated by the Invite Users UI in the /my/invited/pending route
The flow works like this:
1. User visits an invite URL
2. The normal invitation validations (redemptions/expiry) happen at that point
3. We store the invite key in a secure session
4. The user clicks "Accept Invitation and Continue" (see below)
5. The user is redirected to /session/sso then to the SSO provider URL then back to /session/sso_login
6. We retrieve the invite based on the invite key in secure session. We revalidate the invitation. We show an error to the user if it is not valid. An additional check here for invites with an email specified is to check the SSO email matches the invite email
7. If the invite is OK we create the user via the normal SSO methods
8. We redeem the invite and activate the user. We clear the invite key in secure session.
9. If the invite had a topic we redirect the user there, otherwise we redirect to /
Note that we decided for SSO-based invites the `must_approve_users` site setting is ignored, because the invite is a form of pre-approval, and because regular non-staff users cannot send out email invites or generally invite to the forum in this case.
Also deletes some group invite checks as per https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12353
The user and an admin could create multiple email change requests for
the same user. If any of the requests was validated and it became
primary, the other request could not be deleted anymore.
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.
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.
This moves all the rate limiting for user second factor (based on `params[:second_factor_token]` existing) to the one place, which rate limits by IP and also by username if a user is found.
This adds a new table UserNotificationSchedules which stores monday-friday start and ends times that each user would like to receive notifications (with a Boolean enabled to remove the use of the schedule). There is then a background job that runs every day and creates do_not_disturb_timings for each user with an enabled notification schedule. The job schedules timings 2 days in advance. The job is designed so that it can be run at any point in time, and it will not create duplicate records.
When a users saves their notification schedule, the schedule processing service will run and schedule do_not_disturb_timings. If the user should be in DND due to their schedule, the user will immediately be put in DND (message bus publishes this state).
The UI for a user's notification schedule is in user -> preferences -> notifications. By default every day is 8am - 5pm when first enabled.
We should always hide user_id in response when `hide_email_address_taken` setting is enabled. Currently, it can be used to determine if the email was used or not.
Previously, `/u/by-external/{id}` would only work for 'Discourse SSO' systems. This commit adds a new 'provider' parameter to the URL: `/u/by-external/{provider}/{id}`
This is compatible with all auth methods which have migrated to the 'ManagedAuthenticator' pattern. That includes all core providers, and also popular plugins such as discourse-oauth2-basic and discourse-openid-connect.
The new route is admin-only, since some authenticators use sensitive information like email addresses as the external id.
