## Feature Request: Allow admin to disable email verification requirement
### Problem
Currently, Apache Answer **always requires** email verification after
registration. Users cannot access the platform until they click the
verification link in their email.
This is problematic because:
- Many users don't receive or check the verification email
- It creates friction in user onboarding
- Some deployments (internal networks, dev environments) don't need email
verification
### Proposed Solution
Add an admin configuration option to allow users to use the platform
immediately after registration without email verification.
### Technical Changes Required
#### 1. Schema Changes
**File:** `internal/schema/siteinfo_schema.go`
```go
type SiteLoginReq struct {
AllowNewRegistrations bool `json:"allow_new_registrations"`
AllowEmailRegistrations bool `json:"allow_email_registrations"`
AllowPasswordLogin bool `json:"allow_password_login"`
AllowEmailDomains []string `json:"allow_email_domains"`
RequireEmailVerification bool `json:"require_email_verification"` //
NEW
}
```
#### 2. Registration Logic
**File:** `internal/service/content/user_service.go`
Current behavior (line ~471):
```go
userInfo.MailStatus = entity.EmailStatusToBeVerified // Always unverified
```
New behavior:
```go
if requireEmailVerification {
userInfo.MailStatus = entity.EmailStatusToBeVerified
} else {
userInfo.MailStatus = entity.EmailStatusAvailable // Verified
immediately
}
```
#### 3. Admin API
**File:** `internal/controller_admin/siteinfo_controller.go`
- Update `SiteLoginReq` struct to include new field
- Ensure admin can toggle this setting
#### 4. Frontend Admin Panel
**File:** `ui/src/admin/pages/site/` (or similar)
- Add toggle switch for "Require Email Verification" in login settings
### Default Behavior
- `RequireEmailVerification = true` (maintain backward compatibility)
- Admin can set to `false` to allow immediate access after registration
### Database Changes
None required - existing `mail_status` field already supports both states:
- `1` = EmailStatusAvailable (verified)
- `2` = EmailStatusToBeVerified (pending)
### Testing Checklist
- [ ] New user registration with verification enabled → mail_status = 2
- [ ] New user registration with verification disabled → mail_status = 1
- [ ] Admin can toggle the setting via admin panel
- [ ] API returns correct value for `require_email_verification`
- [ ] Existing users with mail_status = 2 still need to verify (if required)
