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
If a list of email addresses is pasted into a group’s Add Members form
that has one or more email addresses of users who already belong to the
group and all other email addresses are for users who do not yet exist
on the forum then no invites were being sent. This commit ensures that
we send invites to new users.
Issue originally reported in https://meta.discourse.org/t/bypass-sso-by-adding-unkown-email-to-group/177339
Inviting people via email address to a group when SSO is enabled (or local logins are disabled) led to a situation where user records were being created bypassing single sign-on.
We already prevent that in most places. This adds required checks to `GroupsController`.
Since 9e4ed03, moderators can view groups with visibility level set to "Group owners, members and moderators".
This fixes an issue where moderators can see the group in /g but then get a 404 when clicking on individual groups.
Currently, if a group's visibility is set to "Group owners, members" then the mods can't view those group pages. The same rule is applied for members visibility setting too.
This reverts commit 7fc7090. And fixed the spec test fails.
When someone wants to add > 1000 users at once they will hit a timeout.
Therefore, we should introduce limit and inform the user when limit is exceeded.
Enabling the moderators_manage_categories_and_groups site setting will allow moderator users to create/manage groups.
* show New Group form to moderators
* Allow moderators to update groups and read logs, where appropriate
* Rename site setting from create -> manage
* improved tests
* Migration should rename old log entries
* Log group changes, even if those changes mean you can no longer see the group
* Slight reshuffle
* RouteTo /g if they no longer have permissions to view group
* FEATURE: set notification levels when added to a group
This feature allows admins and group owners to define default
category and tag tracking levels that will be applied to user
preferences automatically at the time when users are added to the
group. Users are free to change those preferences afterwards.
When removed from a group, the user's notification preferences aren't
changed.
Before this commit if you were bulk removing group members and passed in
a user who wasn't currently a member of that group the whole request
would fail. This change will return a 200 response now listing the users
that were removed and those that were skipped.
* FIX: add X-Robots-Tag header for check_xhr-covered GET actions, too
see https://meta.discourse.org/t/missing-x-robots-tag/152593/3 for context
* test: a spec making sure X-Robots-Tag header is present when needed
/groups path responds to anonymous requests and doesn't skip `check_xhr` method, so we can use it here.
* DEV: Add framework for filtered plugin registers
Plugins often need to add values to a list, and we need to filter those lists at runtime to ignore values from disabled plugins. This commit provides a re-usable way to do that, which should make it easier to add new registers in future, and also reduce repeated code.
Follow-up commits will migrate existing registers to use this new system
* DEV: Migrate user and group custom field APIs to plugin registry
This gives us a consistent system for checking plugin enabled state, so we are repeating less logic. API changes are backwards compatible
* DEV: Standardize table sorting verbiage
This commit creates a common component that tables can use to make their
headers sortable. This commit also standardizes on using `desc` as the
default and passing in the `asc=true` flag to adjust the sorting
direction.
* Add deprecation warnings
Adds deprecation warnings if using previous params and maintains
backwards compatibility. Set the default sort value for group members to
be asc.
* switch group requests to use common table-header-toggle
* update fixture
Sometimes spec which is testing order groups by user count is failing.
My theory is that cause is the randomness of Postgres when the order value is the same for 2 rows.
In spec, we got three groups
`moderator_group` - 0 users
`group` - 1 user
`other_group` - 1 user
And we are expecting that controller will return them in ascending order [moderator, group, other_group]
Because `group` and `other_group` contain the same amount of users, we are dealing with luck
Therefore, I believe that adding one more user to other_group should make that query reliable.
It was not crashing on my local machine, so I am not 100% sure.
This commit ensures that an error is thrown when a user fails to be
removed from a group instead of silently failing.
This means when using the api you will receive a 400 instead of a 200 if
there is a failure. The remove group endpoint allows the removal of
multiple users, this change means that if you try to delete 10 users,
but 1 of them fails you will receive a 400 instead of 200 even though
the other 9 were removed successfully. Rather than adding a bunch more
complexity I think this is more than adequate for most use cases.
FIX: raised a proper NotFound exception when filtering groups by username with invalid username.
FIX: properly filter the groups based on current user visibility when viewing another user's groups.
DEV: Guardian.can_see_group?(group) is now using Guardian.can_see_groups(groups) instead of duplicating the same code.
FIX: spec for groups_controller#index when group directory is disabled for logged in user.
FIX: groups_controller.sortable specs to actually test all sorting combinations.
DEV: s/response_body/body/g for slightly shorter spec code.
FIX: rewrote the "view another user's groups" specs to test all group_visibility and members_group_visibility combinations.
DEV: Various refactoring for cleaner and more consistent code.
* Adjustments to pass specs on Rails 6.0.0
* Use classic autoloader instead of Zeitwerk
* Update Rails 6.0.0 deprecated methods
* Rails 6.0.0 not allowing column with integer name
* Drop freedom_patches/rails6.rb
* Default value for trigger_transactional_callbacks? is true
* Bump rspec-rails version to 4.0.0.beta2
There are 5 visibility levels (similar to group visibility)
public (default)
logged-in users
members only
staff
owners
Admins & group owners always have visibility to group members.
Groups can now be marked as visible to "logged on users". All automatic groups (except `everyone`) are now visible to "logged on users", previously they were marked as public but suppressed in the group page for non-staff.
* Expose a new plugin outlet. Pass group model to the group-member-dropdown so it can be accessed by plugins
* Added controller tests for group custom fields. update custom fields when updating a group
* Introduced fab!, a helper that creates database state for a group
It's almost identical to let_it_be, except:
1. It creates a new object for each test by default,
2. You can disable it using PREFABRICATION=0
This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
