I have been puzzling, reading code and wondering about this one for a while now. What I would like to achieve is to remove the obligation to have unique email addresses in extended users. In other words, allow two or more accounts to share the same email address. This should technically be possible as long as the technical account name is unique.
My reason for this is as follows. We are running a small twirling sports club. Most of our members are below the age of 18, and most of those minors do not have their own email address yet. So we use their parents' email address when creating an account for them. But some families have more than one kid who's a member of our sports club... So for those families we can now only create one account which they will have to share between the members. We work around this by entering the names of the other members who are part of the same family in a text field that I created on the template.
It would be great if the requirement that each account must have a unique email address could be lifted. Maybe by adding some setting to configure this?
By the way, we are *not* using extended users to allow self-service on creation of accounts. All accounts are created by the webmaster.
Thanks for your consideration !
