Seafile disable email registration for users

Seafile Server
1

Hello Folk

my name is Sandra Müller and I am from Germany.

I have already installed seafile server(6.2.3) on my raspberry pi 3 with rasbian stretch.

It works great but I want to create many users for different tasks e.g. user music just for a music account or movies just for a film account but I DO NOT WANT TO create many different email adresss therefore

So how can I disable email registration for subusers therefore I will just need a user name and a password.

In owncloud it was possible but I want use seafile and could not find information onlne.

Can someone help me?

Thank you very much

Currently the email is the user ID at the same time. Depending on your mail provider you could use mail aliases.

For Gmail you can add +everythingyouwant before the @ sign. Eg. your mail is example@gmail.com but you also receive mail for example+movies@gmail.com and example+fhbgujhhihgfdss@gmail.com

Yes I know this point, but I think your solution would be a security problem lets say indeed somebody in real life has actually the email adress example@gmail.com and when i change something in the system or when i configure some settings and thereby I forget to disable email notification or password sending etc. I would not like the idea that somebody get my information.

I am really interessted wheater there is a smart solution without example email accounts?

Thank you
Any Ideas?
Love

You should not use example@gmail.com, of course. But what I described above is valid vor all Gmail accounts.

So this means I HAVE TO create at least 3 accounts of email for 3 users…??

Hi,

with the parameter “SEND_EMAIL_ON_ADDING_SYSTEM_MEMBER” in the seahub_settings.py you can disable the mail notifaction for new user.

Please see check the manual https://manual.seafile.com/config/seahub_settings_py.html

I have some accounts with email adress that not exist
