New User - Unique Email Addr - v2.12

[kweatherhead]

Greetings,

I have been tasked with installing, testing & configuring our installation of MantisBT. I need someone to explain to me why all of the email accounts must be unique. I had hoped to setup accounts using my initials such as; xxxAdmin, xxx_Mgr, xxx_Dev, etc so I could login and learn the different functionality of the system, but all pointing to the same email address rather than having to setup a bunch of email accounts. As it stands, in 2.12 (out-of-the-box) every user's email-addr must be unique. I do not know if it can be overridden, by a variable, or where to change it, if it can be?

Is there a reason why this has to be this way? What is gained? I am setting up an in-house, developer only, at this time, installation and it has yet to be determined if anyone outside will ever have access to this system as things stand presently.

If it is changeable/changed, what might be the issues going forward when put into production?

Regards,
Keith

You can change this by adding the following line to file config_inc.php

Code: Select all

$g_email_ensure_unique = OFF;
