Allow for multiple useraccounts with same email address
Added by Arno Schoenmakers about 13 years ago.
Updated over 11 years ago.
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.
- Category set to Administration
Not sure this is feasible as certain parts of Redmine recognize users based on their mail address, especially when Redmine receives mails.
- Status changed from New to Closed
- Assignee set to Jean-Baptiste Barth
- Resolution set to Wont fix
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.
