A new admin setting called `enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth`. It allows users to authenticate using external providers even when 2FA is forced with `enforce_second_factor` site setting.

made explicit in description that ` default_sidebar_switch_panel_position` admin setting is about the position of the button on the sidebar for switching to chat.
This commit adds ability to fetch a subset of site settings from the `/admin/site_settings` endpoint so that it can be used in all places where the client app needs access to a subset of the site settings.
Additionally, this commit also introduces a new service class called `UpdateSiteSetting` that encapsulates all the logic that surrounds updating a site setting so that it can be used to update site setting(s) anywhere in the backend. This service comes in handy with, for example, the controller for the flags admin config area which may need to update some site settings related to flags.

This commit introduces a hidden `s3_inventory_bucket` site setting which
replaces the `enable_s3_inventory` and `s3_configure_inventory_policy`
site setting.
The reason `enable_s3_inventory` and `s3_configure_inventory_policy`
site settings are removed is because this feature has technically been
broken since it was introduced. When the `enable_s3_inventory` feature
is turned on, the app will because configure a daily inventory policy for the
`s3_upload_bucket` bucket and store the inventories under a prefix in
the bucket. The problem here is that once the inventories are created,
there is nothing cleaning up all these inventories so whoever that has
enabled this feature would have been paying the cost of storing a whole
bunch of inventory files which are never used. Given that we have not
received any complains about inventory files inflating S3 storage costs,
we think that it is very likely that this feature is no longer being
used and we are looking to drop support for this feature in the not too
distance future.
For now, we will still support a hidden `s3_inventory_bucket` site
setting which site administrators can configure via the
`DISCOURSE_S3_INVENTORY_BUCKET` env.
This commit includes various UX improvements to the reset
password page:
* Introduce a `hide-application-header-buttons` helper to do the following:
* Hide Sign Up and Log In buttons, they are not necessary on this flow
* Hide the sidebar, it is a distraction on this flow
* Improve messaging when a 2FA confirmation is required first
* Improve display of server-side ActiveRecord model validation errors
in password form, e.g. instead of "is the same as your current password"
we do "The password is the same as your current password"
* Move password tip to next line below input and move caps lock hint
inline with Show/Hide password toggle
* Add system specs for 2FA flow on reset password page
* Fixes a computed property conflict issue on the password reset
page when toggling 2FA methods
Continued work on moderate flags UI.
In this PR admins are allowed to change the order of flags. The notify user flag is always on top but all other flags can be moved.
This makes it more obvious what's happening, and makes it much less likely that users will send repeated reset emails (and thereby hit the rate limit)

This commit adds the ability for site administrators to mark users'
passwords as expired. Note that this commit does not add any client side
interface to mark a user's password as expired.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Adds a `user_passwords` table and `UserPassword` model. While the
`user_passwords` table is currently used to only store expired
passwords, it will be used in the future to store a user's current
password as well.
2. Adds a `UserPasswordExpirer.expire_user_password` method which can
be used from the Rails console to mark a user's password as expired.
3. Updates `SessionsController#create` to check that the user's current
password has not been marked as expired after confirming the
password. If the password is determined to be expired based on the
existence of a `UserPassword` record with the `password_expired_at`
column set, we will not log the user in and will display a password
expired notice. A forgot password email is automatically send out to
the user as well.
This gives us daily fidelity of topic view stats
New table stores a row per topic viewed per day tracking
anonymous and logged on views
We also have a new endpoint `/t/ID/views-stats.json` to get the statistics for the topic.
* FEATURE: add agree and edit
adds agree and edit - an alias for agree and keep -- but with a client action to
edit the post in the composer before the flag is agreed with

This PR introduces a basic AdminNotice model to store these notices. Admin notices are categorized by their source/type (currently only notices from problem check.) They also have a priority.
Instead of creating two separate Topics when a user (1) requests to join a group and (2) gets accepted in, this makes the acceptance message into a Post under the origin group request Topic.
(experimental)
The initial implementation of glimmer topic-list and related components. Does not include new APIs and isn't compatible with existing customization. That's gonna come in future PRs.
Enabled by adding groups to `experimental_glimmer_topic_list_groups` setting.
This commit switches `DiscourseIpInfo.mmdb_download` to use the
permalinks supplied by MaxMind to download the MaxMind databases as
specified in
https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/updating-databases#directly-downloading-databases
which states:
```
To directly download databases, follow these steps:
1. In the "Download Links" column, click "Get Permalink(s)" for the desired database.
2. Copy the permalink(s) provided in the modal window.
3. Provide your account ID and your license key using Basic Authentication to authenticate.
```
Previously we are downloading from `https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download` but this is not
documented anyway on MaxMind's docs so this URL can in theory break
in the future without warning. Therefore, we are taking a proactive
approach to download the databases from MaxMind the recommended way
instead of relying on a hidden URL. This old way of downloading the
databases with only a license key will be deprecated in 3.3 and be
removed in 3.4.
This keeps coming up in user testing as something
we want to get rid of. The `navigation_menu` setting
has been set to sidebar by default for some time now,
and we are rolling out admin sidebar widely. It just
doesn't make sense to let people turn this off in
the first step of the wizard -- we _want_ people to
use the sidebar.
Our 'page_view_crawler' / 'page_view_anon' metrics are based purely on the User Agent sent by clients. This means that 'badly behaved' bots which are imitating real user agents are counted towards 'anon' page views.
This commit introduces a new method of tracking visitors. When an initial HTML request is made, we assume it is a 'non-browser' request (i.e. a bot). Then, once the JS application has booted, we notify the server to count it as a 'browser' request. This reliance on a JavaScript-capable browser matches up more closely to dedicated analytics systems like Google Analytics.
Existing data collection and graphs are unchanged. Data collected via the new technique is available in a new 'experimental' report.
Made another effort to improve the description of the personal_message_enabled _groups site setting, to clarify who can already create and reply to messages no matter which groups are specified in this setting.
LinkedIn has grandfathered its old OAuth2 provider. This can only be used by existing apps. New apps have to use the new OIDC provider.
This PR adds a linkedin_oidc provider to core. This will exist alongside the discourse-linkedin-auth plugin, which will be kept for those still using the deprecated provider.
Automatically add `moderators` and `admins` auto groups to specific site settings.
In the new group-based permissions systems, we just want to check the user’s groups since it more accurately reflects reality
Affected settings:
- tag_topic_allowed_groups
- create_tag_allowed_groups
- send_email_messages_allowed_groups
- personal_message_enabled_groups
- here_mention_allowed_groups
- approve_unless_allowed_groups
- approve_new_topics_unless_allowed_groups
- skip_review_media_groups
- email_in_allowed_groups
- create_topic_allowed_groups
- edit_wiki_post_allowed_groups
- edit_post_allowed_groups
- self_wiki_allowed_groups

- ignore_allowed_groups
- user_api_key_allowed_groups
This will automatically enable the glimmer header when all installed themes/plugins are ready. This replaces the old group-based site setting.
In 'auto' mode, we check for calls to deprecated APIs (e.g. decorateWidget) which affect the old header. If any are present, we stick to the old header implementation and print a message to the console alongside the normal deprecation messages.
To override this automatic behavior, a new `glimmer_header_mode` site setting can be set to 'disabled' or 'enabled'.
This change also means that our test suite is running with the glimmer header. This unveiled a couple of small issues (e.g. some incorrect `aria-*` and `alt` text) which are now fixed. A number of selectors had to be updated to ensure the tests were clicking the actual `<button>` elements rather than the surrounding `<li>` elements.
It's mostly fine to use the plural form instead of writing something like "topic(s)" when one or more topics could be meant, but the actual count is not known.
This also removes some unused strings from the locale files.
Adds the new quick menu for bookmarking. When you bookmark
a post (chat message behaviour will come later) we show this new quick
menu and bookmark the item straight away.
You can then choose a reminder quick option, or choose Custom... to open
the old modal. If you click on an existing bookmark, we show the same quick menu
but with Edit and Delete options.
A later PR will introduce a new bookmark modal, but for now we
are using the old modal for Edit and Custom... options.
To remove the Getting Started button manually, you have to disable bootstrap mode by setting bootstrap_mode_min_users to 0. I clarified this in the description for the setting.
When a user is manually deactivated, they should not be deleted by our background job that purges inactive users.
In addition, site settings keywords should accept an array of keywords.
In this PR, all references in the UI to the word "`upgrade`" are changed to "`update`". This is to differentiate the update process in self-hosted sites from the plan "upgrade" process in hosted sites.
Follow-up to the PR: https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager/pull/208
* DEV: Various bulk-select dropdown tweaks
- Setting is no longer hidden
- descriptions have been moved to the modal
- Removed ... from one of the dropdown titles
The personal message enabled groups site setting is overridden by the group interaction settings for specifying who is allowed to write to groups. This was not clearly explained in the description here and I think I fixed it!
Why this change?
This is a follow-up to 86b2e3a.
Basically, we want to allow people to select more than 1 group as well.
What does this change do?
1. Change `type: group` to `type: groups` and support `min` and `max`
validations for `type: groups`.
2. Fix the `<SchemaThemeSetting::Types::Groups>` component to support the
`min` and `max` validations and switch it to use the `<GroupChooser>` component
instead of the `<ComboBoxComponent>` component which previously only supported
selecting a single group.
When a topic fails to be created due to the user not having permission to add tags to the topic, the error message that you get is `There was an error tagging the topic` which is very generic and doesn't explain where/what the problem is. This commit adds a clearer error message for this scenario.
Why this change?
This is a follow-up to 86b2e3aa3e.

validations for `type: categories`.

When crawlers visit a post-specific URL like `/t/-/{topic-id}/{post-number}`, we use the canonical to direct them to the appropriate crawler-optimised paginated view (e.g. `?page=3`).
However, analysis of google results shows that the post-specific URLs are still being included in the index. Google doesn't tell us exactly why this is happening. However, as a general rule, 'A large portion of the duplicate page's content should be present on the canonical version'.
In our previous implementation, this wasn't 100% true all the time. That's because a request for a post-specific URL would include posts 'surrounding' that post, and won't exactly conform to the page boundaries which are used in the canonical version of the page. Essentially: in some cases, the content of the post-specific pages would include many posts which were not present on the canonical paginated version.
This commit aims to resolve that problem by simplifying the implementation. Instead of rendering posts surrounding the target post_number, we will only render the target post, and include a link to 'show post in topic'. With this new implementation, 100% of the post-specific page content will be present on the canonical paginated version, which will hopefully mean google reduces their indexing of the non-canonical post-specific pages.
To improve performance, we omit the basic-HTML version of pages when users are logged in, or when they are using a modern mobile device. This can be confusing when analysing the SEO of sites, so this commit adds a short static message when content is omitted.
Why this change?
While working on the tag selector for the theme object editor, I
realised that there is an extremely high possibility that users might want to select
more than one tag. By supporting the ability to select more than one
tag, it also means that we get support for a single tag for free as
well.
What does this change do?
1. Change `type: tag` to `type: tags` and support `min` and `max`
validations for `type: tags`.
2. Fix the `<SchemaThemeSetting::Types::Tags>` component to support the
`min` and `max` validations
Why this change?
Fortunately or unfortunately in Discourse core, we mainly use `Tag#name`
to look up tags and not its id. This assumption is built into the
frontend as well so we need to use the tag's name instead of the id
here.
This commit operates at three levels of abstraction:
1. We want to prevent user history rows from being unbounded in size.
This commit adds rails validations to limit the sizes of columns on
user_histories,
2. However, we don't want to prevent certain actions from being
completed if these columns are too long. In those cases, we truncate
the values that are given and store the truncated versions,
3. For endpoints that perform staff actions, we can further control
what is permitted by explicitly validating the params that are given
before attempting the action,
In AdminDashboardData we have a bunch of problem checks implemented as methods on that class. This PR absolves it of the responsibility by promoting each of those checks to a first class ProblemCheck. This way each of them can have their own priority and arbitrary functionality can be isolated in its own class.
Think "extract class" refactoring over and over. Since they were all moved we can also get rid of the @@problem_syms class variable which was basically the old version of the registry now replaced by ProblemCheck.realtime.
In addition AdminDashboardData::Problem value object has been entirely replaced with the new ProblemCheck::Problem (with compatible API).
Lastly, I added some RSpec matchers to simplify testing of problem checks and provide helpful error messages when assertions fail.
Previously, if the sso= payload was invalid Base64, but signed correctly, there would be no useful log or error. This commit improves things by:
- moving the base64 check before the signature checking so that it's properly surfaced
- split the ParseError exception into PayloadParseError and SignatureError
- add user-facing errors for both of those
- add/improve spec for both
Adds a site setting to include a post's content in penalty message.
When silencing/suspending a user from a post, or a reviewable with
a post, adds an option to include a post's content in the email
message by default.
This commit changes the wording of the 50 site settings that
previously had the shortest descriptions (e.g. City for Disputes
was described as City for Disputes...) using AI-generated and then
human curated descriptions based on the Forum Helper persona
on Discourse Meta.
In future we may want to do more of these, this is only a first pass.

When a post is created by an incoming email, we show
an envelope icon on it which then opens a modal with the
raw email contents. Previously this was staff (admin+mod)
only, but now this commit adds the `view_raw_email_allowed_groups`
site setting, so any group can be added to give users permission
to see this.
Why this change?
Previously in cac60a2c6b, I added support
for `type: "category"` for a property in the theme objects schema. This
commit extend the work previously to add support for types `topic`,
`post`, `group`, `upload` and `tag`.
Why this change?
This change adds validation for the default value for `type: objects` theme
settings when a setting theme field is uploaded. This helps the theme
author to ensure that the objects which they specifc in the default
value adhere to the schema which they have declared.
When an error is encountered in one of the objects, the error
message will look something like:
`"The property at JSON Pointer '/0/title' must be at least 5 characters
long."`
We use a JSON Pointer to reference the property in the object which is
something most json-schema validator uses as well.
What does this change do?
1. This commit once again changes the shape of hash returned by
`ThemeSettingsObjectValidator.validate`. Instead of using the
property name as the key previously, we have decided to avoid
multiple levels of nesting and instead use a JSON Pointer as the key
which helps to simplify the implementation.
2 Introduces `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator.validate_objects` which
returns an array of validation error messages for all the objects
passed to the method.
This PR adds a new scheduled problem check that simply tries to connect to Twitter OAuth endpoint to check that it's working. It is using the default retry strategy of 2 retries 30 seconds apart.
Why this change?
This change supports a property of `type: category` in the schema that
is declared for a theme setting object. Example:
```
sections:
type: objects
schema:
name: section
properties:
category_property:
type: category
```
The value of a property declared as `type: category` will have to be a
valid id of a row in the `categories` table.
What does this change do?
Adds a property value validation step for `type: category`. Care has
been taken to ensure that we do not spam the database with a ton of
requests if there are alot of category typed properties. This is done by
walking through the entire object and collecting all the values for
properties typed category. After which, a single database query is
executed to validate which values are valid.
Why this change?
Firstly, note that this is not a security commit because this feature is
still in development and should not be used anywhere.
The reason we want to set a limit here is to greatly reduce the
possibility of a DoS attack in the future via `ThemeSetting` where
someone would set an arbituary large json string in
`ThemeSetting#json_value` and causing the server to run out of resources
trying to serialize/deserialize the value.
What does this change do?
Adds an ActiveRecord validation to ensure that the bytesize of the json
string being stored is smaller than or equal to 0.5mb. We believe 0.5mb
is a decent limit for now but we can review the limit in the future if
we believe it is too small.
Why this change?
The logic for validating a theme setting's value and default value was
not consistent as each part of the code would implement its own logic.
This is not ideal as the default value may be validated differently than
when we are setting a new value. Therefore, this commit seeks to
refactor all the validation logic for a theme setting's value into a
single service class.
What does this change do?
Introduce the `ThemeSettingsValidator` service class which holds all the
necessary helper methods required to validate a theme setting's value
Why this change?
This commit updates `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator` to validate a
property's value against the validations listed in the schema.
For string types, `min_length`, `max_length` and `url` are supported.
For integer and float types, `min` and `max` are supported.
Why this change?
This change adds property value validation to `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator`
for the following types: "string", "integer", "float", "boolean", "enum". Note
that this class is not being used anywhere yet and is still in
development.
The strict-dynamic CSP directive is supported in all our target browsers, and makes for a much simpler configuration. Instead of allowlisting paths, we use a per-request nonce to authorize `<script>` tags, and then those scripts are allowed to load additional scripts (or add additional inline scripts) without restriction.
This becomes especially useful when admins want to add external scripts like Google Tag Manager, or advertising scripts, which then go on to load a ton of other scripts.
All script tags introduced via themes will automatically have the nonce attribute applied, so it should be zero-effort for theme developers. Plugins *may* need some changes if they are inserting their own script tags.
This commit introduces a strict-dynamic-based CSP behind an experimental `content_security_policy_strict_dynamic` site setting.
Why this change?
This is a first pass at adding an objects validator which main's job is
to validate an object against a defined schema which we will support. In
this pass, we are simply validating that properties that has been marked
as required are present in the object.
When we launched the new illegal flag type, there were a few problems with the translations:
The translation for the message in the e-mail was missing and in the review queue, the message read: "Is this it's illegal?"
In this PR the missing translation key has been added. For the review queue there was a coupling of the name rendering to whether the flag is of "custom" type, but this is also used for deciding whether we render the textbox for additional details. I think these two things should not be coupled together. For now I have instead hard-coded the existing "custom" types when formatting the name. We can potentially improve this later.
This commit changes `max_image_megapixels` to be used
as is without multiplying by 2 to give extra leway.
We found in reality this was just causing confusion
for admins, especially with the already permissive
40MP default.
Why this change?
This commit introduces an experimental `type: objects` theme setting
which will allow theme developers to store a collection of objects as
JSON in the database. Currently, the feature is still in development and
this commit is simply setting up the ground work for us to introduce the
feature in smaller pieces.
What does this change do?
1. Adds a `json_value` column as `jsonb` data type to the `theme_settings` table.
2. Adds a `experimental_objects_type_for_theme_settings` site setting to
determine whether `ThemeSetting` records of with the `objects` data
type can be created.
3. Updates `ThemeSettingsManager` to support read/write access from the
`ThemeSettings#json_value` column.

post_links_allowed_groups is an odd check tied to
unrestricted_link_posting? in PostGuardian, in that
it doesn't have an escape hatch for staff like most
of the rest of these group based settings.
It doesn't make sense to exclude admins or mods from
posting links, so just always allow them to avoid confusion.
These routes were previously rendered using Rails, and had a fairly fragile 2fa implementation in vanilla-js. This commit refactors the routes to be handled in the Ember app, removes the custom vanilla-js bundles, and leans on our centralized 2fa implementation. It also introduces a set of system specs for the behavior.
Running Discourse 3.2 stable under Ember 3 will technically be possible, but is only intended as a short-term migration point. This commit adds an admin warning for sites which are using this configuration, to make it clear that themes and plugins are unlikely to support the configuration.

We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_to_tag_topics site setting to tag_topic_allowed_groups.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_for_user_api_key site setting to user_api_key_allowed_groups.
This isn't used by any of our plugins or themes, so very little fallout.
