Hi, is there a way to disable activation emails for users authenticating with OIDC? We have openid connect overrides email set to yes anyways(\*), and some people are notoriously unable to search their spam folders…
Given that we’re a university I’m tempted to say “if you’re unable to find the activation email you get an automatic grade F”. But nooo…
\*) The auth source is the university’s own registry, so the email is guaranteed to be correct. Even if the user doesn’t know how to spell it 😉

Your identity provider needs ro provide the `email_verified` claim in your ID token upon successful authentication. Discourse then automatically picks this up and won’t require an email confirmation.
