introduced the notion of <code>unconfirmed</code> identities. These are identities created solely using the email address of a user (any valid email will do). The use case allows users to allow members of groups just based on their email address, regardless of whether their accounts exist or not.</p> <h2 id="creating-a-unconfirmed-identity">Creating a unconfirmed identity</h2> <p>Clicking on the "Group members" tab of a group you're administrating allows you to see both regular and unconfirmed identities. The unconfirmed ones have a special background and no login, as seen below.</p> <p><img alt="Group members with unconfirmed identities" src="../../images/user-docs/unconfirmed-identities/group-members.png" /></p> <p>Clicking on the add button allows you to search for members to add, among the currently existing identities. You can search using the email address of the user, as well.</p> <p><img alt="Search for an identity to add as a member" src="../../images/user-docs/unconfirmed-identities/search-identity.png" /></p> <p>In the case where you entered a valid email address, and nothing is available to be selected, you can trigger the creation of such an unconfirmed identity.</p> <p><img alt="Placeholder created" src="../../images/user-docs/unconfirmed-identities/search-identity-add-placeholder.png" /></p> <p>Below is an example of the created unconfirmed identity.</p> <p><img alt="Created unconfirmed" src="../../images/user-docs/unconfirmed-identities/placeholder-created.png" /></p> <h2 id="post-creation">Post-creation</h2> <p>After the user logs in with the first account that has an email matching the unconfirmed identity, their account will be associated to this identity and he will be able to benefit from their membership to whichever groups are needed for your application roles.</p> <p>Their identity will be confirmed and this will be a regular identity from now on.</p> </article> </div> </div> </main> <footer class="md-footer"> <nav class="md-footer__inner md-grid" aria-label="Footer" > <a href="../account-lifecycle/" class="md-footer__link md-footer__link--prev" aria-label="Previous: Account Lifecycle" rel="prev"> <div class="md-footer__button md-icon"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M20 11v2H8l5.5 5.5-1.42 1.42L4.16 12l7.92-7.92L13.5 5.5 8 11h12Z"/></svg> </div> <div class="md-footer__title"> <div class="md-ellipsis"> <span class="md-footer__direction"> Previous </span> Account Lifecycle </div> </div> </a> <a href="../../applications/application-configuration/" class="md-footer__link md-footer__link--next" aria-label="Next: Configuring your application" rel="next"> <div class="md-footer__title"> <div class="md-ellipsis"> <span class="md-footer__direction"> Next </span> Configuring your application </div> </div> <div class="md-footer__button md-icon"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M4 11v2h12l-5.5 5.5 1.42 1.42L19.84 12l-7.92-7.92L10.5 5.5 16 11H4Z"/></svg> </div> </a> </nav> <div class="md-footer-meta md-typeset"> <div class="md-footer-meta__inner md-grid"> <div class="md-copyright"> Made with <a href="https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Material for MkDocs </a> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </div> <div class="md-dialog" data-md-component="dialog"> <div class="md-dialog__inner md-typeset"></div> </div> <script id="__config" type="application/json">{"base": "../..", "features": [], "search": "../../assets/javascripts/workers/search.5bf1dace.min.js", "translations": {"clipboard.copied": "Copied to clipboard", "clipboard.copy": "Copy to clipboard", "search.config.lang": "en", "search.config.pipeline": "trimmer, stopWordFilter", "search.config.separator": "[\\s\\-]+", "search.placeholder": "Search", "search.result.more.one": "1 more on this page", "search.result.more.other": "# more on this page", "search.result.none": "No matching documents", "search.result.one": "1 matching document", "search.result.other": "# matching documents", "search.result.placeholder": "Type to start searching", "search.result.term.missing": "Missing", "select.version.title": "Select version"}}</script> <script src="../../assets/javascripts/bundle.37e9125f.min.js"></script> </body> </html>
