We have integrated Discourse with another app, and users are managed in Keycloak. When a user deletes his account in the other app, we also delete it via API in Discourse. Works fine, but the user’s IP is then blocked automatically in Discourse, so there is no way to log in as a different user from…

According to the API documentation for deleting a user , whether it blocks the IP is one of the options passed in with the body of the request. So in the code where the request is being made, you should be able to provide json in the body of the request which includes ”block_ip”: false. For example…

Yes. You’ll need to in-check the thing that blocks the ip. See Reverse engineer the Discourse API and see what happens when you do it from the UX.

I’m not sure if I understand this. Do you mean I have to unblock the IP via API after the account has been deleted? I was actually hoping for some configuration switch in Discourse.

Ah, got it. Thanks, will try this.

Hey Have you gotten your answer here? as ”block_ip”: false, doesn’t work in API request body in my case, so did you have it work or you happen to send another separate request by reverse engineering Discourse API?

It does work for me. This is our request body: { delete_posts: false, block_email: false, block_urls: false, block_ip: false, }

I wonder if the problem was using "block_ip": false exactly for the request body, as opposed to a JSON object string. I can no longer edit my post but I’ve flagged it to have your JSON added as an example to hopefully make the marked solution clearer.

Thanks for your reply. We have this in place for the request JSON body {block_email: false} (It’s block_email in our situation), but it doesn’t seem to take effect in user deletion API. We needed to send a separate request to remove the email from the Screened Emails (Blocking Emails).

Depending on the way you construct your JSON-String (manually or with a library) you might need try single quotes, double quotes, no quotes at all. Besides that I have no idea - the Discourse API usually does exactly what it promises.

Okay, I will post it here for anyone who comes to the same situation with the user deletion API. block_ip: False does reliably prevents the IP from being added to screened IPs. block_email: False should prevent the email from being added to screened_emails, However some edge cases (like spam-flagg…

是的。您需要检查阻止 IP 的东西。请参阅逆向工程 Discourse API，看看从用户体验执行此操作时会发生什么。
