Duplicate email addresses in database

Permalink
Does anyone know of any deleterious effects of using one email address for two users? This would be done directly in the database. I know this would prevent modification of their profiles in the dashboard. Anything else?

Don't.

Hello...
So, just how would you go about testing group/user permissions then??
I'm planning on a few different User Groups that should access group specific content. And, to nail down permissions and understanding, using Concrete5 on a local development web server at home before attempting on my live site.

I used a Wordpress plugin to allow this functionality in the past. Again, it's only for the development server, as I agree it is not a good approach for production site.

Appreciate any info you can share. Thanks in advance.

OK, found my answer.

It took commenting out 2 lines in register.php in controllers directory. I'm not posting the exact spot, since this is in fact messing with core files, and not recommended. But, as I indicated in my initial post, it's for my "local" dev site ONLY. Furthermore, who knows what can happen if I test mailing lists, etc..

But if anyone is interested, send me a message.
This involves the core implementation (no AddOns) only.

why not just use some fake emails? I routinely use test@concrete5.org, test1@concrete5.org, etc..
