feature request #7276
Make User.email a unique field.
50%
Description
Make User.email a unique field.
In the context of password recovery it seems also a requirement to make the email address unique in the UserAccount table.
In order to recover a password the user can usually either supply the login or email address.
NOTE: As long as #7275 is not implemented or if it is rejected it is NOT possible to implement by standard
@Column(unique = true)
as NULL values are duplicates otherwise.

This only makes sense if email is an obligatory field, which currently is not the case and probably also will not be the case in future.

For now I suggest to reject this feature request as long as NULL values are allowed (#7275).
We could only try to check programmatically if an email address already exists. Also we could try to write a validation rule NullOrUnique. But these solutions might be new tickets. What do you think?
