Issue: #2584

Summary & Context

Adds functional requirements to the account connections card for use on the user profile edit page. Automatically

Changes

  • Linked existence of Social Accounts to display properties of the Account Connections Card
  • Added link functionality from django-allauth to Account Connections Card
  • Add new view to allow for removal of social account links

‼️ Risks & Considerations ‼️

Please list any potential risks or areas that need extra attention during review/testing

  • It is not currently possible to test linking a social account on the local development environment, as the OAuth cannot be linked to localhost, so that functionality can only be tested by QA.
  • For local testing of the disconnect/card states, an existing social Account can be linked to the developers user account in the Django admin

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The profile now builds GitHub and Google connection data from configured social providers. It adds provider-specific connect and disconnect actions, a validated POST disconnect endpoint, and confirmation forms in the account connections card.

Changes

Social account connection management

Layer / File(s) Summary
Connection state and profile context
users/models.py, users/views.py
User reports GitHub and Google connection states. The profile view resolves configured providers, skips unavailable providers, and builds connection entries with provider login URLs.
Disconnect endpoint and route
users/views.py, config/urls.py
DisconnectSocialAccountView validates the platform and disconnection form, reports missing accounts or form errors, and redirects with a result message. The URL route exposes the POST endpoint.
Connection card interaction
templates/v3/includes/_account_connections_card.html, templates/v3/includes/_dialog.html, templates/v3/user_profile_edit.html
The profile passes dynamic connection data to the card. Each connection gets a CSRF-protected disconnect form and confirmation dialog. Dialog buttons support submit mode and configurable styles.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 34e46

The social-account removal flow can fail when users have multiple accounts for the same provider, and its redirect parameter may send users to external destinations. The PR is not merge-ready until account selection and redirect validation are corrected.

Hi @jlchilders11 , I've left some suggestions below, but in many cases I cannot validate my own suggestions since I can't test it locally for myself. We might just need to collaborate closely with Katty on this :)

Also – I think we've been assuming a user can only connect one Google account at a time (I certainly was 😆), but there's one staff user in our DB with two connections. That may just need a manual cleanup via the Admin Panel. That said, adding a second connection is still possible through this page, which isn't linked from anywhere and is only reachable by direct URL: https://www.stage.boost.org/accounts/3rdparty/ – we might want to restrict this option too

I think placing this here will make this form available for several pages: /user/me and get rendered 3 times on V3 demo page – should we consider moving this part into just the user_profile_edit.html? 🤔

Hmm... I think this needs to live anywhere that we want this card to actually be functional. What if we add a UUID to each dialog, so we can have multiple on the same page? Or is that too ugly in the browser bar?

Currently it seems like we're not handling these exceptions, which will cause the page to break with 500 errors. Should we consider raising error banner messages instead? Btw, if we choose to use message, please feel free to delete the {% block messages %} section in user_profile_edit.html.

Hey @jlchilders11 I think this still needs to be addressed.
The block mentioned by Julia is this one:

{% block messages %}
  <div id="messages" class="w-full text-center transition-opacity" x-data="{show: true}">
    {% for message in messages %}{% endfor %}
  </div>
{% endblock messages %}

which swallows error messages and they don't get rendered in the UI.
I tried throwing an error right at the beginning of DisconnectSocialAccountView.post() and, indeed, no error in shown in the frontend.

django-allauth 65.14.0 SocialAccount model unique constraint provider uid multiple accounts same user provider

💡 Result:

In django-allauth, the SocialAccount model enforces a unique constraint on the combination of provider and uid [1][2]. This means that within a single database, a specific provider (e.g., "google") and a specific user ID (e.g., "123456") can only be associated with one local user account [3][1]. Regarding the possibility of connecting multiple accounts from the same provider to the same user: 1. Relationship: The SocialAccount model has a foreign key to the User model, not the other way around [1][2]. This design naturally supports a single local user account having multiple associated social accounts, including multiple accounts from the same provider (e.g., a user could theoretically link both 'user_a@gmail.com' and 'user_b@gmail.com' to their single local account) [4][5]. 2. Unique Constraint: The unique constraint is strictly on (provider, uid) [1]. It ensures that two different local users cannot claim the same social account ID for the same provider [3]. It does not prevent a single user from owning multiple distinct social accounts from that same provider, provided those accounts have different uids [4][6]. 3. Implementation details: While the model allows this, the actual user flow for connecting multiple accounts from the same provider can sometimes be complicated by the provider's own authentication state (e.g., being automatically logged into the first Google account when attempting to link a second one) [7]. Users often need to sign out of the external provider or use specific authentication parameters (like forcing an "authorize" action) to connect a second account [7]. In summary, the SocialAccount unique constraint (provider, uid) is designed to ensure one-to-one mapping between a social provider's identity and a local user, while allowing a single local user to maintain one-to-many relationships with social accounts across or within providers [3][4].

Can we build this URL in the backend? Besides being better to build it there to keep the logic centralized, the view in DisconnectSocialAccountView.post() is also having to perform an awkward parsing removing the single quotes ' in redirect_url = self.request.GET.get("redirect_url", "").strip("'")

can we remove the if not redirect_url below to instead assign the fallback here?

redirect_url = self.request.GET.get("redirect_url", "").strip("'") or reverse("home")

(a slight change will be needed here if you start building the redirect url on the backend, from my other comment)

I think this is causing 4 queries where we could be making only 1, by fetching all the connected providers at once and compiling this payload.

Maybe adapting get_social_accounts() for a v3 version and using it here could do the trick?
