For now, the reconciliation requests are imported through CSV in the Django admin, which sends confirmation email to both addresses. When both are checked, the actual reconciliation is processed, and all user-related content is updated. ## Purpose Fix #1616 // Replaces #1708 For now, the reconciliation requests are imported through CSV in the Django admin, which sends confirmation email to both addresses. When both are checked, the actual reconciliation is processed, and all user-related content is updated. ## Proposal - [x] New `UserReconciliationCsvImport` model to manage the import of reconciliation requests through a task (`user_reconciliation_csv_import_job`) - [x] New `UserReconciliation` model to store the user reconciliation requests themselves (a row = a `active_user`/`inactive_user` pair) - [x] On save, a confirmation email is sent to the users - [x] A `process_reconciliation` admin action process the action on the requested entries, if both emails have been checked. - [x] Bulk update the `DocumentAccess` items, while managing the case where both users have access to the document (keeping the higher role) - [x] Bulk update the `LinkTrace` items, while managing the case where both users have link traces to the document - [x] Bulk update the `DocumentFavorite` items, while managing the case where both users have put the document in their favorites - [x] Bulk update the comment system items (`Thread`, `Comment` and `Reaction` items) - [x] Bulk update the `is_active` status on both users - [x] New `USER_RECONCILIATION_FORM_URL` env variable for the "make a new request" URL in an email. - [x] Write unit tests - [x] Remove the unused `email_user()` method on `User`, replaced with `send_email()` similar to the one on the `Document` model ## Demo page reconciliation success <img width="1149" height="746" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/09ba2b38-7af3-41fa-a64f-ce3c4fd8548d" /> --------- Co-authored-by: Anthony LC <anthony.le-courric@mail.numerique.gouv.fr>

User account reconciliation
It is possible to merge user accounts based on their email addresses.
Docs does not have an internal process to requests, but it allows the import of a CSV from an external form (e.g. made with Grist) in the Django admin panel (in "Core" > "User reconciliation CSV imports" > "Add user reconciliation")
CSV file format
The CSV must contain the following mandatory columns:
active_email: the email of the user that will remain active after the process.inactive_email: the email of the user(s) that will be merged into the active user. It is possible to indicate several emails, so the user only has to make one request even if they have more than two accounts.id: a unique row id, so that entries already processed in a previous import are ignored.
The following columns are optional: active_email_checked and inactive_email_checked (both must contain 0 (False) or 1 (True), and both default to False.)
If present, it allows to indicate that the source form has a way to validate that the user making the request actually controls the email addresses, skipping the need to send confirmation emails (cf. below)
Once the CSV file is processed, this will create entries in "Core" > "User reconciliations" and send verification emails to validate that the user making the request actually controls the email addresses (unless active_email_checked and inactive_email_checked were set to 1 in the CSV)
In "Core" > "User reconciliations", an admin can then select all rows they wish to process and check the action "Process selected user reconciliations". Only rows that have the status ready and for which both emails have been validated will be processed.
Settings
If there is a problem with the reconciliation attempt (e.g., one of the addresses given by the user does not match an existing account), the email signaling the error can give back the link to the reconciliation form. This is configured through the following environment variable:
USER_RECONCILIATION_FORM_URL=<url used in the email for reconciliation with errors to allow a new requests>
# e.g. "https://yourgristinstance.tld/xxxx/UserReconciliationForm"
