Two User Accounts with Same Email Address

Two User Accounts with Same Email Address
Hi-

Does anyone know if it would be possible to modify LinksSQL so that there could be more than one user with the same email address? Currently in additional to a unique username, a unique email address is also required for each user. The way our directory is structured, there are instances where it would be helpful if a person can have more than one user account, but now they can't do that (if they only have one email address) because each user account requires a unique email address.

I was trying to figure out what would need to be modified to allow this. Doesn't seem to be in Users.pm, does anyone know if it is something in Login.pm need to be changed to allow this, or if it would be more involved?

In the Email field in the Users table

Select Column Index and change from unique to regular

G Community allows multiple users with the same email address.

Hi,

I don't think GLinks was designed to work that way and probably explains why the field property is unique in the first place. You can expect to run into problems by allowing this in your database.

Here's one issue for example:
