Allow users to update their emails

auth.emailUpdate.enabled

This dynamic configuration parameter defines whether local users (i.e. those authenticated with email and password) are allowed to change their emails.

  • If set to On, local users can request a change of email address in their profile:
    • If your Comentario instance has an operational mailer configured, the user will receive an email at the new address, with a confirmation link to complete the change.
    • If no operational mailer is configured, the email will be updated right away, without intermediate confirmation.
  • If set to Off, users cannot change their emails themselves. Email can only be updated by a superuser (for example, at a user’s request).
