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.
c2526844e9 removed the `signups` queue
worker, and the command-line tool that enqueues to it -- but not the
automated process that enqueues during signups itself.
Remove the signup, since it is no longer in use.
In the case of reusing a registration link, reuse the
redirect_to_email_login_url helper. This does have the side effect of
now showing a "you've already registered" note, which did not happen
previously, but that seems probably for the best, since the user did
just click a "register" link.
ecfafc05c0 shifted to using a different paramter name to hint that
the user had previously signed up -- and in so doing also stopped
pre-filling the "email" box. Also send along the email box, to save
users time.
Checking for `validate_email_not_already_in_realm` again (after the
form already did so), but only in the case that the form fails to
validate, means that we may be spending time pushing totally invalid
emails to the DB to check. In the case of emails containing nulls,
this can even trigger a 500 error from PostgreSQL.
Stop calling `validate_email_not_already_in_realm` in the form
validation. The form is currently only used in two places -- in
`accounts_home` and in `maybe_send_to_registration`. The latter is
only called if the address is known to not currently have an account,
so checking in there is unnecessary; and in the former case, we wish
different behaviour (the redirect) than just validation failure, which
is all the validator can do.
Fixes#17015.

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.
We always want to do these at the same time. Previously, message
editing did too much stripping (fixes#16837) and failed to check for
NUL bytes.

If a user visits a realm which has been deactivated and it's
deactivated_redirect field is set, we should have a message telling the
user that the realm has moved to the deactivated_redirect url.
This handles the conditions when anchor values are larger than
LARGER_THAN_MAX_MESSAGE_ID by clamping them down to it. Also added
tests for the function parse_anchor_value.
Fixes#16768.
This simplifies the code, as it allows using the mechanism of converting
JsonableErrors into a response instead of having separate, but
ultimately similar, logic in RateLimitMiddleware.
We don't touch tests here because "rate limited" error responses are
already verified in test_external.py.
Then because the ID is now part of the draft dict, we can
(and do) change the structure of the "drafts" parameter
returned from `GET /drafts` from an object (mapping ID to
data) to an array.

This class removes a lot of the annoying tuples
we were passing around.
Also, by including the user everywhere, which
is easily available to us when we make instances
of SubInfo, it sets the stage to remove
select_related('user_profile').
This is a pure extraction, except that I remove a
redundant check that `len(principals) > 0`. Whenever
that value is false, then `new_subscriptions` will
only have one possible entry, which is the current
user, and we skip that in the loop.
I think it's important that the callers understand
that bulk_add_subscriptions assumes all streams
are being created within a single realm, so I make
it an explicit parameter.
This may be overkill--I would also be happy if we
just included the assertions from this commit.
ssh always runs its command through a shell (after naïvely joining
multiple arguments with spaces), so it needs an extra level of shell
quoting. This should have no effect because we already validated user
with a regex, but it’s better for escaping to be locally correct in
case the context changes.

We modify access_stream_for_delete_or_update function to return
Subscription object also along with stream. This change will be
helpful in avoiding an extra query to get subscription object in
code for updating subscription role.
We add a new wildcard_mention_policy setting to handle wildcard
mentions in large streams, with a wide range of policies available to
organizations.
We set the default to the safe option for preventing accidental spam:
only stream administrators being able to use wildcard mentions in
large streams.
We previously used to to redirect to config error page with
a different URL. This commit renders config error in the same
URL where configuration error is encountered. This way when
conifguration error is fixed the user can refresh to continue
normally or go back to login page from the link provided to
choose any other backend auth.
Also moved those URLs to dev_urls.py so that they can be easily
accessed to work on styling etc.
In tests, removed some of the asserts checking status code to be 200
as the function `assert_in_success_response` does that check.
