Good morning Krzysztof, I got some userfeedback about invitation and the mentioned problem occurred for multiple users. The user had multiple accounts in unity and wishes to select which account is used to accept this invitation. I think the problem here is that the invitation is bind to the first account which has the entered email address. The bug I found is that the check if an users exists with the entered email address is case sensitive. We had an user with capital letters in the email address, while the project manager entered only in lower cases. I think the check should be case-insensitive. I found this on unity version 3.3.4. I don't now if this is fixed in meanwhile.

What sort of invitations are discussed here? Invitation to enquiries or to registration forms? Can you describe the context here?

But perhaps there is some other mechanism in question. Perhaps answer to the above questions will help. But anyway: can you provide a reproduction steps? Thank you Krzysztof |

The user had already two or more accounts in unity using the same email address. > > Can you describe the context here? Who/to what is inviting, from what > app, etc. We created a group and enabled upman on this group but only using invitations to users who have an account in unity, so using enquiries. The user got the invitation and click on the link. The account is added to the group. Some investigation of the accounts of the users, who have multiple accounts with same email address, I encountered that the first account (lowest entity ID) which uses the email address is added to group. In the case where users reported a problem, they did not use their first account in unity but another one. So they want to decide which account is going to be added to the group. Of course this is in some way a wrong usage of the service by the users, but they will always blame the service and the software. > > > The bug I found is that the check if an users exists with the > > entered > > email address is case sensitive.

Yes I'll explain it using my email address. The user created two accounts with same email address but not equal in case sensithiv: - 1st account email: Sa....@fz... - 2nd account email: sa....@fz... The project manager send an invitation to sa....@fz... and the user accepted it. In this case the 2nd account was added to the group, but the user still uses the 1st account. In the other cases, described above, the first account with the email address is added to the group. For this reason it seems to me that the check is not handled case sensitive. At least the behaviour is different.

Almost clear. One more question here: above you mean that you had two entities in Unity, which had email *attributes* as shown above and those entities had no email *identities*. Is it correct?

Yes, both entities do not have email identity. Only username.

OK, the situation is clear now. Let me answer: > I got some userfeedback about invitation and the mentioned problem > occurred for multiple users. The user had multiple accounts in unity > and wishes to select which account is used to accept this invitation. I > think the problem here is that the invitation is bind to the first > account which has the entered email address. True, it behaves like this, and I also think it is incorrect. However I don't think the proposed solution works. In my opinion in such situation the person who is inviting should make the decision who is the recipient. After all inviting party is the party which should control who is added additional grants/memberships. What do you think? Anyway fixing that will be bit more involving. > The bug I found is that the check if an users exists with the entered > email address is case sensitive.
