How to use same email address for several members?

This is a very frequent question; many would love to do that…

This is not possible.

Indeed, mail addresses must be unique in the database. It is a choice for the project on which several features are built:

  • lost password (since… always or almost),

  • login (since Galette 0.9),

Making them non uniques is not a solution we want to rely on. This would be complicated, and should be source of many bugs.

However, it is possible in Galette to link several members. That way, some information such as email and postal addresses will be retrieved from the parent member if missing.

This allows finally to use a unique email address for several members in database; but they are not duplicates in database.
