This module allows multiple Drupal accounts to be associated with the same email address, overriding the default validation that prevents this. It provides a warning to users when they are using a shared email address.
The shared email module allows multiple users to use the same email address for different accounts. The module works for both registration and account updates.
Other features
- Compatible with Subuser and User Import modules.
- Shared Email Password Reset
How it works
Shared email overrides the 'user' module's validation that prevents the same email address being used by more than one user. Displays a warning to the user that they are using a shared email.
Based on Allowing Multiple Accounts from the Same E-Mail Address?
This module modifies the email address before it is validated by the user module.
Because it only changes the edit value rather than the form value, the validation will pass but the original unchanged email is still stored properly.
Make sure to enable the 'show warning text' permission for the users role that can see the warning message.
Drupal 8+
Versions 8.x-2.x and 3.x allow for shared emails by discarding the unique constraint on the email address as opposed to versions prior to 8.x-2.x.
