Re: using sync where users dont have email address

Hi Lane,

Totara requires a unique email field for every user, no matter which method you use to add users.

The only workaround I can think of would be to generate a (unique) dummy email address for each user when you are originally creating the CSV file for sync. However bear in mind that this will generate a lot of unsendable bouncing email messages for the users with dummy email addresses, unless you also

a) set the emailstop field in the user table to 1 for those users OR

b) set $CFG->noemailever = true; in config.php which will stop all emails being sent by anywhere in the system to all users

Hi Ciaran,

A comment about Totara requiring a unique email field for each user: we've been under this assumption too. While troubleshooting a customer's Sync problems for some other issues today, we were able to create several users using an identical email address. If this is not intended behavior, there's a bug somewhere. 

This was on our internal "sandbox" that uses Totara version 2.2.10 (Build: 20121122.00).

Best regards,

Marjaana

From my testing, you are correct, you can upload users with duplicate email addresses, but when you do so, those users will not show in the Browse All Users list.

Thanks!

Susan

We have a fix for allowing duplicate email addresses coming in the next release. However as some organisations seem to make use of duplicate emails (for dummy email accounts when their users have none) we will include a configuration option so you can allow duplicate emails if you need to (default will be to prevent duplicates).

Would it be possible to allow Totara sync to import the emailstop field, so that users can be imported with dummy email addresses, as well as to just prevent email sending for users imported purely for historical records?
