Allow mail being changed

[debuglevel]

GL3 does not allow a user to change her mail address anymore.
Whenever a customer wants to change her mail address (and well, this happens for various reasons), we have to tell "sorry, please create a new account. And no, your rooms/URLs are lost."

It would be nice therefore, to allow users to have their mail changed.

Hi,

innocent question: couldn't you change the e-mail address directly in the database?
I know you can change some fields directly in de database in GLv2, but I haven't installed/tested GLv3.
OTOH it would be nice if a user can change her/his e-mail address without an admin's help.

Regards,
J.

Yes, changing via postgres interface works, but self-service is more convenient for users and admins.

Ok, good to know for the future.
I agree, self-service is more convenient.

Not a simple feature, though. Changing the password-reset email address of an account should only be allowed after entering the current password again, and only take effect once the new email is verified. The old email should also be notified about the change.

For external users, changing email should not be allowed at all. The email is used as a fallback for account correlation.

Hello,

how do I enter the postgres interface in Greenlight V3?
Tryed it the way I did in Greenlight V2, but it didn't work.
