This makes it much more clear that this feature does JSON encoding,
which previously was only indicated in the documentation.

Add new rest api endpoint GET users/{email} for looking up a user by
email, which is useful especially for corporate API applications that
might already have a user's email address.
Fixes#14302.
zerver/lib/users.py has a function named access_user_by_id, which is
used in /users views to fetch a user by it's id. Along with fetching
the user this function also does important validations regarding
checking of required permissions for fetching the target user.
In an attempt to solve the above problem this commit introduces
following changes:
1. Make all the parameters except user_profile, target_user_id
to be keyword only.
2. Use for_admin parameter instead of read_only.
3. Adds a documentary note to the function describing the reason for
changes along with recommended way to call this function in future.
4. Changes in views and tests to call this function in this changed
format.
Changes were tested using ./tools/test-backend.
Fixes#17111.
Allowing any admins to create arbitrary users is not ideal because it
can lead to abuse issues. We should require something stronger that
requires the server operator's approval and thus we add a new
can_create_users permission.
This adds 'user_id' to the simple success response for 'POST /users'
api endpoint, to make it convenient for API clients to get details
about users they just created. Appropriate changes have been made in
the docs and test_users.py.
Fixes#16072.
A few major themes here:
- We remove short_name from UserProfile
and add the appropriate migration.
- We remove short_name from various
cache-related lists of fields.
- We allow import tools to continue to
write short_name to their export files,
and then we simply ignore the field
at import time.
- We change functions like do_create_user,
create_user_profile, etc.
- We keep short_name in the /json/bots
API. (It actually gets turned into
an email.)
- We don't modify our LDAP code much
here.
When you post to /json/users, we no longer
require or look at the short_name parameter,
since we don't use it in any meaningful way.
An upcoming commit will eliminate it from the
database.
Update the REQ check for profile_data in
update_user_backend by tweaking `check_profile_data`
to use `check_dict_only`.
Here is the relevant URL:
path('users/<int:user_id>', rest_dispatch,
{'GET': 'zerver.views.users.get_members_backend',
It would be nice to unify the validator
for these two views, but they are different:
update_user_backend
update_user_custom_profile_data
It's not completely clear to me why update_user_backend
seems to support a superset of the functionality
of `update_user_custom_profile_data`, but it has
this code to allow you to remove custom profile fields:
clean_profile_data = []
for entry in profile_data:
assert isinstance(entry["id"], int)
if entry["value"] is None or not entry["value"]:
field_id = entry["id"]
check_remove_custom_profile_field_value(target, field_id)
else:
clean_profile_data.append({
"id": entry["id"],
"value": entry["value"],
})
Whereas the other view is much simpler:
def update_user_custom_profile_data(
<snip>
) -> HttpResponse:
validate_user_custom_profile_data(user_profile.realm.id, data)
do_update_user_custom_profile_data_if_changed(user_profile, data)
# We need to call this explicitly otherwise constraints are not check
return json_success()
This adds a new client_capability that clients such as the mobile apps
can use to avoid unreasonable network bandwidth consumed sending
avatar URLs in organizations with 10,000s of users.
Clients don't strictly need this data, as they can always use the
/avatar/{user_id} endpoint to fetch the avatar if desired.
This will be more efficient especially for realms with
10,000+ users because the avatar URLs would increase the
payload size significantly and cost us more bandwidth.
Fixes#15287.
There seems to have been a confusion between two different uses of the
word “optional”:
• An optional parameter may be omitted and replaced with a default
value.
• An Optional type has None as a possible value.
Sometimes an optional parameter has a default value of None, or None
is otherwise a meaningful value to provide, in which case it makes
sense for the optional parameter to have an Optional type. But in
other cases, optional parameters should not have Optional type. Fix
them.

Fixes#2665.
Regenerated by tabbott with `lint --fix` after a rebase and change in
parameters.
Note from tabbott: In a few cases, this converts technical debt in the
form of unsorted imports into different technical debt in the form of
our largest files having very long, ugly import sequences at the
start. I expect this change will increase pressure for us to split
those files, which isn't a bad thing.

This new endpoint returns a 'user' dictionary which, as of now,
contains a single key 'is_subscribed' with a boolean value that
represents whether the user with the given 'user_id' is subscribed
to the stream with the given 'stream_id'.
Fixes#14966.
This commit adds some basic checks while adding or removing
realm owner status of a user and adds code to change owner
status of a user using update_user_backend.
This also adds restriction on removing owner status of the
last owner of realm. This restriction was previously on
revoking admin status, but as we have added a more privileged
role of realm owner, we now have this restriction on owner
instead of admin.
We need to apply that restriction both in the role change code path
and the deactivate code path.
This commit removes short_name and client_id fields from the user
objects returned by get_profile_backend because neither of them
had a purpose.
* short_name hasn't been present anywhere else in the Zulip API for
several years, and isn't set through any coherent algorithm.
* client_id was a forgotten 2013-era predecessor to the queue_id field
returned by the register_event_queue process.
The combination of these changes gets us close to having `get_profile`
have the exact same format as other endpoints fetching a user object.
This commit changes get_profile_backend to be based on format_user_row
such that it's a superset of the fields for our other endpoints for
getting data on a user.
To be clear, this does not removes any of the exisiting fields, that
were returned by this endpoint.
This change adds some fields to the User object returned by the
endpoint. API docs are updated accordingly for the added fields.
This commit changes the update user API endpoint to accept role
as parameter instead of the bool parameters is_guest and is_admin.
User role dropdown in user info modal is also modified to use
"dropdown_options_widget".
Modified by tabbott to document the API change.
This commit merges do_change_is_admin and do_change_is_guest to a
single function do_change_user_role which will be used for changing
role of users.
do_change_is_api_super_user is added as a separate function for
changing is_api_super_user field of UserProfile.
This commit introduces two new functions in 'url_encoding.py' which
centralize two common patterns for constructing redirect URLs. It
also migrates the files using those patterns to use the new
functions.
This refactors get_members_backend to return user data of a single
user in the form of a dictionary (earlier being a list with a single
dictionary).
This also refactors it to return the data with an appropriate key
(inside a dictionary), "user" or "members", according to the type of
data being returned.
Tweaked by tabbott to use somewhat less opaque code and simple OpenAPI
descriptions.
This extends our email address visibility settings to deny access to
user email addresses even to organization administrators.
At the moment, they can of course change the setting (which leaves an
audit trail), but in the future only organization owners will be able
to change that setting.
While we're at this, we rewrite the settings_data.js test to cover all
the cases in a more consistent way.
Fixes#14111.
This adds a new API endpoint for querying basic data on a single other
user in the organization, reusing the existing infrastructure (and
view function!) for getting data on all users in an organization.
Fixes#12277.
This makes get_raw_user_data, which was being imported indirectly
from zerver.lib.events inside zerver/views/users.py, get imported
from zerver.lib.users where it actually is.
For a long time, we've been only doing the zxcvbn password strength
checks on the browser, which is helpful, but means users could through
hackery (or a bug in the frontend validation code) manage to set a
too-weak password. We fix this by running our password strength
validation on the backend as well, using python-zxcvbn.
In theory, a bug in python-zxcvbn could result in it producing a
different opinion than the frontend version; if so, it'd be a pretty
bad bug in the library, and hopefully we'd hear about it from users,
report upstream, and get it fixed that way. Alternatively, we can
switch to shelling out to node like we do for KaTeX.
Fixes#6880.
