This adds a common function `access_bot_by_id` to access bot id within
same realm. It probably fixes some corner case bugs where we weren't
checking for deactivated bots when regenerating API keys.
"incorrect" here means rejected by a bot's validate_config() method.
A common scenario for this is validating API keys before the bot is
created. If validate_config() fails, the bot will not be created.
This commit adds a setting to limit creation of generic bots
to admins for realms that want that restriction. (Generic
bots, apart from being considered spammy on some realms,
have less locked down permissions than webhook bots).
Fixes#7066.
The previous implementation had a subtle caching bug: because it was
sharing its cache with the `get_user_profile_by_email` cache, if a
user happened to have an email in that cache, we'd return it, even
though that user didn't match `base_query`.
This causes `get_cross_realm_users` to no longer have a problematic
caching bug.
This fixes a regression in ae5ba7f4fd,
where Zulip would 500 if the newly added system bots didn't exist on
the server.
This also fixes a moderate size performance problem where we'd fetch 5
users from memcached or the database in a loop.
interface_type select menu will be used to choose the interface
for outgoing webhooks. It will be displayed only when the selected
bot type is OUTGOING WEBHOOK type. The default value is GENERIC
interface type (1).
Add 'Type of bot' option for bots by adding dropdown option in
settings->"Your bots". For now, this allows creating incoming webhook
bots in addition to default bots.
This will enable users to add a bot as an incoming webhook
(in addition to add full-featured bots).
With various minor tweaks and cleanups by tabbott.
Fixes#2186.
