It worked, tks!

Hi, y'all!

I'm new here, so greeting to everyone :))

I'm thinking of using NodeBB as a forum for a closed community of start-up founders.

Only fellows of this community should be able to access the content of the forum.

So far, I thought of disabling new users' registration and importing all the fellow's credentials via CSV/API.

I would also need to block unlogged users from seeing the forum content as well.

Is this possible without the need to write a custom plugin?

Just so you know, if you use fields that already exist on the user profile as Additional Fields the profile will actually be updated.

This info will show up on the user profile page, for example.

I tested and I'm currently using with
'fullname', 'website', 'location', and 'aboutme'.

The following fields may be updated as well, as far as I understood it.

It may be nice to update the plugin documentation, so others can use this unintended functionality as well!

Tks so much, @baris and @julian!

The await User.setUserField(user.uid, 'picture', user.profile_picture_url) approach worked!

Yes, @julian, it's listening to the import-users-csv plugin hook.

As soon as I finish the plugin I'll make a proper post announcing and explaining it.

This is the plugin I used to import, something didn't worked as expected.

The error message is not that useful as well, maybe it can be an improvement in a future update :))

I found a quick and dirty solution: if I just bulk validate e-mail, the entry is created on the email:uid object and everything works. It's doable if I validate 500 at a time

Thanks, @baris! Helpful as always
