Hello Simon,
while writing GPDR-compliant “technical organisation’s measures”,
I’ve been insertion a statement that says that users who do not
respond to an actualisation wish of the terms-of-conditions are
automatically erased. The reason this is needed lies in the fact that an
explicit agreement is always needed to any change in the
data-privacy-policy as long as the user-profile contains personal
information (generally, it does).
As a result, it seems to me that one of these fields should be a date:
“last activated” or something last this. Per default, we’d just
make sure that this date is not the date zero. An authenticator that a
would enable a wiki to be GPDR compliant with TOS and privacy notices
would then check that the last-activated is later than the last
modification date of these documents.
I entirely agree that a second property stating that a user is disabled
because his profile looks to be spam is a necessary thing. Here, I do
not see a date requirement.
thanks
Paul

Hi everyone,
I recently (in XWiki 11.6RC1) introduced a new property "enabled" in
XWiki.User as part of https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12654 to
distinguish between inactive users (who have not confirm their
registration with the token sent by email), and disabled users (who
are deactivated by an admin, or by a security mechanism).
Now as Marius noticed those two properties are quite redundant,
especially when you want to know which users are really active.
So it introduces unnecessary complexity and we might even need to
change existing extension to check enabled users (cf the last comments
on XWIKI-12564).
So before doing those changes, I propose to fix immediately the issue
by removing that newly introduced property and by introducing a new
property only for assessing that users' email are checked.
Then we will only have to check "active" property to check if a user
is active or not, and we could rely on it to set them enabled or
disabled in the admin.
The email_check property would be used only for the check email
mechanism, so it will avoid any confusion in the semantic.
WDYT?
Simon
