We want to exclude the system user from group user counts, since intuitively admins wouldn't include them.
Originally this was accomplished by booting said system user from the groups, but this is causing problems, because the system user needs TL group membership to perform certain tasks.
After this PR, system user is still in the TL groups, but excluded when refreshing the user count.
Some preparatory refactoring as we're working on TL groups for the system user. On User we have a scope #human_users to exclude the system user, DiscoBot, etc. This PR adds the same scope (delegated to User) on Group.
* FIX: respect creation date when paginating group activity posts
There are scenarios where the chronological order of posts doesn't match the order of their IDs. For instance, when moving the first post from one topic or PM to another, a new post (with a higher ID) will be created, but it will retain the original creation time.
This PR changes the group activity page and endpoint to paginate posts using created_at instead of relying on ID ordering.
When setting an old TL based site setting in the console e.g.:
SiteSetting.min_trust_level_to_allow_ignore = TrustLevel[3]
We will silently convert this to the corresponding Group::AUTO_GROUP. And vice-versa, when we read the value on the old setting, we will automatically get the lowest trust level corresponding to the lowest auto group for the new setting in the database.
Currently, groups owned by moderators are not visible to them on the
groups page. This happens because, the group visibility queries don't
account for non-admin staff user group ownership.
This change updates the group visibility scope queries to account for a
moderator(non-admin staff user) group ownership.
This commit adds modifiers that allow plugins to change how categories and groups are prefetched into the application and listed in the respective controllers.
Possible use cases:
- prevent some categories/groups from being prefetched when the application loads for performance reasons.
- prevent some categories/groups from being listed in their respective index pages.
This fixes a bug in the create invite API where if you passed in an
integer for the group_ids field it would fail to add the user to the
specified group.
Group user event webhooks filtered by group fail silently
because the `group_ids` job arg wasn't being passed into the job.
This change add's `group_ids` to the `EmitWebHookEvent` jobs queued for
`user_added_to_group` and `user_removed_from_group` events.
There are many situations that may cause users to lose permission to
send messages in a chat channel. Until now we have relied on security
checks in `Chat::ChatChannelFetcher` to remove channels which the
user may have a `UserChatChannelMembership` record for but which
they do not have access to.
This commit takes a more proactive approach. Now any of these following
`DiscourseEvent` triggers may cause `UserChatChannelMembership`
records to be deleted:
* `category_updated` - Permissions of the category changed
(i.e. CategoryGroup records changed)
* `user_removed_from_group` - Means the user may not be able to access the
channel based on `GroupUser` or also `chat_allowed_groups`
* `site_setting_changed` - The `chat_allowed_groups` was updated, some
users may no longer be in groups that can access chat.
* `group_destroyed` - Means the user may not be able to access the
channel based on `GroupUser` or also `chat_allowed_groups`
All of these are handled in a distinct service run in a background
job. Users removed are logged via `StaffActionLog` and then we
publish messages on a per-channel basis to users who had their
memberships deleted.
When the user has a channel they are kicked from open, we show
a dialog saying "You no longer have access to this channel".
When they click OK we redirect them either:
* To their first other public channel, if they have any followed
* The chat browse page if they don't
This is to save on tons of requests from kicked out users getting messages
from other channels.
When the user does not have the kicked channel open, we can just
silently yoink it out of their sidebar and turn off subscriptions.
While load testing our user creation code path in production, we
identified that executing the DB statement to update the `Group#user_count` column within a
transaction is creating a bottleneck for us. This is because the
creation of a user and addition of the user to the relevant groups are
done in a transaction. When we execute the DB statement to update
`Group#user_count` for the relevant group, a row level lock is held
until the transaction completes. This row level lock acts like a global
lock when the server is creating users that will be added to the same
group in quick succession.
Instead of updating the counter cache within a transaction which the
default ActiveRecord `counter_cache` option does, we simply update the
counter cache outside of the committing transaction.

Our group fabrication creates groups with name "my_group_#{n}" where n
is the sequence number of the group being created. However, this can
cause the test to be flaky if and when a group with name `my_group_10`
is created as it will be ordered before
`my_group_9`. This commits makes the group names determinstic to
eliminate any flakiness.
This reverts commit 558bc6b746.
Our @mention user search prioritized users based on prefix matches.
So if searching for `sa` we will display `sam`, `asam` in that order
Previously, we did not prioritize group matches based on prefix. This change ensures better parity.
Implementation notes:
1. User search only prioritizes based on username prefix, not name prefix. TBD if we want to change that.
2. @mention on client side will show 0 group matches if we fill up all the spots with user matches. TBD if we want to unconditionally show the first / second group match.

This commit allows group SMTP emails to be sent with a
different from email address that has been set up as an
alias in the email provider. Emails from the alias will
be grouped correctly using Message-IDs in the mail client,
and replies to the alias go into the correct group inbox.
This commit adds a check that runs regularly as per
2d68e5d942 which tests the
credentials of groups with SMTP or IMAP enabled. If any issues
are found with those credentials a high priority problem is added to the
admin dashboard.
This commit also formats the admin dashboard differently if
there are high priority problems, bringing them to the top of
the list and highlighting them.
The problem will be cleared if the issue is fixed before the next
problem check, or if the group's settings are updated with a valid
credential.
This commit introduces a new site setting "google_oauth2_hd_groups". If enabled, group information will be fetched from Google during authentication, and stored in the Discourse database. These 'associated groups' can be connected to a Discourse group via the "Membership" tab of the group preferences UI.
The majority of the implementation is generic, so we will be able to add support to more authentication methods in the near future.
https://meta.discourse.org/t/managing-group-membership-via-authentication/175950
* DEV: use active record `save!` instead of mini sql.
The "save" method will trigger the before_save callback "match_primary_group_changes" for User model. Else `flair_group_id` won't be removed from the user.
* check whether the method `match_primary_group_changes` called or not.
Group flair is not removed while removing a user from the group since the `before_save` callback methods are not triggered while using the `update_columns` method.
This PR makes several changes to the group SMTP email contents to make it look more like a support inbox message.
* Remove the context posts, they only add clutter to the email and replies
* Display email addresses of staged users instead of odd generated usernames
* Add a "please reply above this line" message to sent emails
Adds the last updated at and by SMTP/IMAP fields to the UI, we were already storing them in the DB. Also makes sure that `imap_mailbox_name` being changed makes the last_updated_at/by field update for IMAP.
This PR changes the `UserNotification` class to send outbound `user_private_message` using the group's SMTP settings, but only if:
* The first allowed_group on the topic has SMTP configured and enabled
* SiteSetting.enable_smtp is true
* The group does not have IMAP enabled, if this is enabled the `GroupSMTPMailer` handles things
The email is sent using the group's `email_username` as both the `from` and `reply-to` address, so when the user replies from their email it will go through the group's SMTP inbox, which needs to have email forwarding set up to send the message on to a location (such as a hosted site email address like meta@discoursemail.com) where it can be POSTed into discourse's handle_mail route.
Also includes a fix to `EmailReceiver#group_incoming_emails_regex` to include the `group.email_username` so the group does not get a staged user created and invited to the topic (which was a problem for IMAP), as well as updating `Group.find_by_email` to find using the `email_username` as well for inbound emails with that as the TO address.
#### Note
This is safe to merge without impacting anyone seriously. If people had SMTP enabled for a group they would have IMAP enabled too currently, and that is a very small amount of users because IMAP is an alpha product, and also because the UserNotification change has a guard to make sure it is not used if IMAP is enabled for the group. The existing IMAP tests work, and I tested this functionality by manually POSTing replies to the SMTP address into my local discourse.
There will probably be more work needed on this, but it needs to be tested further in a real hosted environment to continue.
This overhauls the user interface for the group email settings management, aiming to make it a lot easier to test the settings entered and confirm they are correct before proceeding. We do this by forcing the user to test the settings before they can be saved to the database. It also includes some quality of life improvements around setting up IMAP and SMTP for our first supported provider, GMail. This PR does not remove the old group email config, that will come in a subsequent PR. This is related to https://meta.discourse.org/t/imap-support-for-group-inboxes/160588 so read that if you would like more backstory.
### UI
Both site settings of `enable_imap` and `enable_smtp` must be true to test this. You must enable SMTP first to enable IMAP.
You can prefill the SMTP settings with GMail configuration. To proceed with saving these settings you must test them, which is handled by the EmailSettingsValidator.
If there is an issue with the configuration or credentials a meaningful error message should be shown.
IMAP settings must also be validated when IMAP is enabled, before saving.
When saving IMAP, we fetch the mailboxes for that account and populate them. This mailbox must be selected and saved for IMAP to work (the feature acts as though it is disabled until the mailbox is selected and saved):
### Database & Backend
This adds several columns to the Groups table. The purpose of this change is to make it much more explicit that SMTP/IMAP is enabled for a group, rather than relying on settings not being null. Also included is an UPDATE query to backfill these columns. These columns are automatically filled when updating the group.
For GMail, we now filter the mailboxes returned. This is so users cannot use a mailbox like Sent or Trash for syncing, which would generally be disastrous.
There is a new group endpoint for testing email settings. This may be useful in the future for other places in our UI, at which point it can be extracted to a more generic endpoint or module to be included.
Previously, if the upload_id was present, but the upload was missing, the entire site would give a server error.
We have no foreign keys on this relation, so we have to be able to cope with the situation where the upload_id is present, but the actual upload has been deleted.

Adds a new column/setting to groups, allow_unknown_sender_topic_replies, which is default false. When enabled, this scenario is allowed via IMAP:
* OP sends an email to the support email address which is synced to a group inbox via IMAP, creating a group topic
* Group user replies to the group topic
* An email notification is sent to the OP of the topic via GroupSMTPMailer
* The OP has several email accounts and the reply is sent to all of them, or they forward their reply to another email account
* The OP replies from a different email address than the OP (gloria@gmail.com instead of gloria@hey.com for example)
* The a new staged user is created, the new reply is accepted and added to the topic, and the staged user is added to the topic allowed users
Without allow_unknown_sender_topic_replies enabled the new reply creates an entirely new topic (because the email address it is sent from is not previously part of the topic email chain).
