Feature #7599

Allow for multiple useraccounts with same email address
0%
Description
I am both administrator and worker on several projects. For this I use different user accounts. However, I cannot set the email addresses equal (Redmine does not allow that). Can that be changed? Fine to have a warning if you register as a user with an already used email account, but leave it up to the user to accept that or not. That would solve my problem.

Not sure this is feasible as certain parts of Redmine recognize users based on their mail address, especially when Redmine receives mails.

Assuming your email address is john@doe.com, maybe you could try to use john+redmineadmin@doe.com for your admin account. Many email providers / MTA accept the + as an easy convention to tag your address, and route every mail to the same final box.
Anyway, as Felix said, I think making email addresses not unique would be a bad idea, so I close this issue. Anyway, I'd be curious to have your feedback about this.

Hi,
I tried this, but our mail system apparently isn't fooled by this trick... Too bad.
Thanks,
Arno

Hello,
I think that allowing duplicate mail address is a good feature, I need it to assign "support@mydomain.com" to all support team, and when the developer team updates a issue the notification goes to a common mailbox not only to the reporter.
Best Regards.
