Settings Discussion: Number of days unconfirmed users until deletion
Automatically delete unverified unconfirmed use... (gitlab-org/gitlab#352514 - closed) is being planned for 16.1
Discussion Required: Number of days
The plan is to make the setting configurable. We discussed in the issue having a 7 day default, but considering the discussion in gitlab-com/support/support-team-meta#5144 (closed) and that with new users on .com, we'd likely lose them if they have to wait too long to sign up again, could we set it to 1 day?
Advantages of 1 day
- Less support requests regarding typos, confirmation link not working (they have to be used within 24 hours of triggering), etc.
- Less wait time for users if they need to re-sign up for some reason.
- Note: No data is lost since users can't do anything until confirmed.
Disadvantages of 1 day
- Some orgs may be creating users via SCIM prior to a user's onboarding. Though, if it gets deleted, SCIM can and will re-create the account.
Please feel free to edit the description to add to it.
