Hi everyone,
I recently (in XWiki 11.6RC1) introduced a new property "enabled" in
XWiki.User as part of https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12654 to
distinguish between inactive users (who have not confirm their
registration with the token sent by email), and disabled users (who are
deactivated by an admin, or by a security mechanism).
Now as Marius noticed those two properties are quite redundant,
especially when you want to know which users are really active.
So it introduces unnecessary complexity and we might even need to change
existing extension to check enabled users (cf the last comments on
XWIKI-12564).
So before doing those changes, I propose to fix immediately the issue by
removing that newly introduced property and by introducing a new
property only for assessing that users' email are checked.
Then we will only have to check "active" property to check if a user is
active or not, and we could rely on it to set them enabled or disabled
in the admin.
The email_check property would be used only for the check email
mechanism, so it will avoid any confusion in the semantic.
WDYT?
Simon
