Jakub Zych 8bdf2c7d1a feat: opt-in golem15.user.jwt.token_cookie sets the HttpOnly session cookie on /login, /register and /activate-by-code instead of returning the token
Default off, so body-token clients are unchanged. When on, the cookie carries the auth.cookie attributes via bouncer.LoadCookieConfig and the body keeps user (and message); SameSite stays Lax, with no CSRF token; personal API tokens are untouched.

# golem15.user
The shared front-end user plugin for SummerCMS applications: registration, login with JWT sessions, activation and password reset, profile and avatar endpoints.
```go
import _ "git.golem15.com/golem15/sm-user-plugin"
```
Module `git.golem15.com/golem15/sm-user-plugin`, package `user`, plugin ID `golem15.user`.
## Overview
The plugin is a compiled SummerCMS plugin. Its `init` registers it with the framework, so an application loads it by listing it in `summer.yaml`; `summer build` then emits the blank import above into the application's `plugins.gen.go`.
It owns the `users` table extensions, `user_throttle`, `jwt_blacklist`, `user_api_tokens`, `golem15_user_oauth_identities`, `golem15_user_organisations`, `user_groups`, `users_groups` and `golem15_user_frontend_permissions`, the JSON API under `/_user/api/v1`, and the Users, User Groups and Organisations screens of the admin. It is a core plugin shared by several applications, so its routes, payloads, table names, migration IDs, permission codes and config keys are a contract: change them only in a backwards-compatible way.
## Features
- **Registration and activation.** `POST /register`, `POST /activate`, `POST /activate-by-code`. Registration can be switched off and throttled; `activate_mode` is `auto`, `user` (a mailed code) or `admin`, with codes from `IssueActivationCode` and `VerifyActivationCode`. A `/register` body sets only the `User.RegisterFillable` columns: `name`, `surname`, `email`, `password` (stored as its hash), `preferred_locale` and `marketing_consent`. It cannot set `organisation_id` or `organisation_role` (membership is the administrator's or the application's), `is_onboarded`, `must_change_password`, or the activation, reset, address proof, handle and permission columns; other keys are ignored (they still reach `RegisterEvent.Payload`). `created_ip_address` and `last_ip_address` are server-set from the client address only. With `require_activation` on (the default), `POST /login` refuses an account that is not activated with the same 401 invalid-login answer as a wrong password and counts the attempt for the login throttle. Such an account is activated by the mailed code (`POST /activate-by-code` answers with a token), by the invitation link or by an administrator. `POST /activate` serves the sessions of not-activated accounts, which exist when `require_activation` is off. `Login` checks in this order: a ban or an active suspension (`RejectIfThrottled`), the password, the activation, then the deactivation restore.
- **JWT sessions.** `POST /login`, `GET /fetch`, `POST /refresh`, `POST /logout`. Boot registers the `jwt` guard with the framework's `bouncer.Registry` and exposes it as the `jwt.auth` middleware for other plugins. The guard reads the session cookies `classes.SessionCookieNames()` lists and resolves the published `bouncer.BlacklistStore` on every request. Boot installs the plugin's GORM hooks (`classes.RegisterHooks`), publishes the Postgres `jwt_blacklist` store (`bouncer.NewPostgresBlacklist`) and starts its background sweep, which prunes the blacklist, through `lagoon.OnDatabase`. Under `summer serve`, which publishes the database after Boot, they take effect when `lagoon.Publish` runs, before the router is built; when the database is already published they take effect at once. While no store is published, no token counts as blacklisted. `POST /logout` ends the session however the token travels: the bearer header, or only the `token` or `auth_token` cookie the guard also reads. Every session token the request carries goes to the Postgres `jwt_blacklist` until its refresh window closes (the later of `exp` and `iat` plus `refresh_ttl`, plus a minute), so the guard refuses it on the next request and `POST /refresh` cannot revive it after the access token expired; a token whose access lifetime passed is revoked too while it could still be refreshed. The answer, a 401 included, expires the `auth.cookie.*` token cookie (the one `golem15.sociallogin`'s `token_cookie` sets), and any other session cookie the request carries, with that cookie's path, domain, SameSite and Secure. `POST /refresh` loads the token's user and refuses (401, `Could not refresh token`, `User not found`) a deactivated or banned user and a token issued before the user's `tokens_valid_after`; a suspension alone does not stop a refresh. `GET /fetch`, `POST /refresh`, `POST /update` and `POST /change-password`, like the plugin's other signed-in routes, read the session token as the `jwt` guard does: the bearer header first, then the `token` and `auth_token` cookies, so a cookie-only session works on them and a bearer header wins when both are sent. A `POST /refresh` whose token came from the `auth.cookie.*` cookie (`auth.cookie.name`, default `token`) with no bearer header gets that cookie back with the rotated token: the cookie has the `bouncer.LoadCookieConfig` attributes, HttpOnly and Max-Age `refresh_ttl`, and the answer is `{}`, so the token never reaches JavaScript. This holds whoever wrote the cookie (this plugin's `golem15.user.jwt.token_cookie`, `golem15.sociallogin`'s `token_cookie` or the application); a frontend that writes the `token` cookie itself and refreshes through it gets it back HttpOnly, without a body token, so such a frontend sends the bearer header to keep rotating in the body. A refresh carried by the bearer header (a cookie sent with it included) or by the other session cookie answers `{"token": …}` and writes no cookie; the old token is blacklisted after `golem15.user.jwt.blacklist_grace`, so that caller stores the new token itself. A refused refresh writes and forgets no cookie. When `bouncer.LoadCookieConfig` refuses the `auth.cookie` block, a cookie-carried refresh answers the opaque 500 before anything is rotated; a bearer refresh never reads that block. Keep `auth.cookie.name` at `token` or `auth_token`, the cookies the guard reads. With `golem15.user.jwt.token_cookie` on, `POST /login`, `POST /register` (when it signs the new account in) and `POST /activate-by-code` set that HttpOnly session cookie (`bouncer.LoadCookieConfig` attributes, Max-Age `refresh_ttl`) and leave `token` out of the body; `user`, and `message` on activate-by-code, stay. With it off (the default) the token is in the body and no cookie is set. SameSite stays the `auth.cookie` setting (`lax` by default) and there is no CSRF token, so do not set `same_site: none` for this cookie. With the key on, a broken `auth.cookie` block answers those three routes with the opaque 500 before they sign in, create or activate anything. Personal API tokens (`POST /tokens`) are not sessions and are unaffected. A cookie-carried session relies on the cookie's SameSite attribute against cross-site requests (the `auth.cookie` default is `lax`), as on the `jwt.auth` routes.
- **Password reset and change.** `POST /forgot-password` answers the same body for known and unknown addresses; `POST /reset-password` consumes a code from `IssueResetCode`. `POST /change-password` requires the current password.
- **Must-change-password lock.** The `user:require-password-change` console command flags an account. The flag rides on the authenticated principal (`bouncer.Principal.MustChangePassword`) for guards and other plugins to act on, and a successful `POST /change-password` clears it.
- **Login throttling.** Failed logins are counted per user and client address in `user_throttle` (`CheckAndRecordLogin`, `RejectIfThrottled`) and suspend the account for a configured time. The client address is `surf.ClientIP` with the framework's `http.trusted_proxies`, as for the `/register` IP limit and the `user-api` rate limit: behind a listed reverse proxy it is the `X-Forwarded-For` client, otherwise the connection address, and an `X-Forwarded-For` header from any other peer is ignored. A deployment behind a proxy lists the proxy's address in `http.trusted_proxies`; otherwise every visitor shares the proxy's counter.
- **Rate limiting.** Every route runs behind the `user-api` bucket: 120 requests a minute per authenticated user, or per client IP for anonymous calls.
- **Profile.** `POST /update`, `POST /marketing-consent`, `POST /avatar` and `POST /avatar/remove` (the avatar is stored through the framework's attachment storage).
- **Deactivation and bans.** Deactivation is self-service and reversible: a password login or a `golem15.sociallogin` sign-in restores a deactivated account and sends the reactivate mail, and an administrator can restore it too. It ends every earlier session JWT and personal API token of the user (`RevokeUserAccess` stamps `tokens_valid_after` and revokes the `user_api_tokens` rows), so the user signs in again and gets a fresh token, while the old API tokens stay revoked. A ban is the lock: password login, social sign-in and `POST /refresh` refuse a banned user, and banning revokes the user's sessions and API tokens. Neither unban nor restore revives a token. Activation gates login, deactivation does not: while `require_activation` is on, an account that is both deactivated and not activated is refused and stays deactivated, with no reactivate mail. Upgrade note: accounts deactivated or banned before this version keep their API tokens until they are deactivated or banned again (both actions are idempotent) or `RevokeUserAccess` runs for them.
- **Organisations.** The `Organisation` model and the `organisation_id` and `organisation_role` user columns, as a foreign-key target for other plugins. An organisation has a name, a slug (filled from the name by `Slugify` when it is left empty), a description, an avatar and its members: the users whose `organisation_id` points at it. `organisation_role` belongs to that membership: the admin clears it whenever a user's organisation changes (see the Organisations screen), and an application that sets `organisation_id` itself sets or clears the role with it.
- **User groups.** The `user_groups` table (seeded with the `guest` and `registered` groups, as in PHP) and the `users_groups` membership pivot, the `UserGroup` model and the `User.Groups` relation, which is never serialized. `UserGroupCodes` and `HasGroupCode` let other plugins check membership server-side, for example a site-admin check on the group code `admin`. No user API route reads or writes groups, and the user payload still answers `"groups":[]`. Membership is written in one place only: the `groups` field of the admin user form. Apart from that, rows leave `users_groups` only when a user or a group is deleted for good. The admin Users list can filter by group.
- **Admin screens.** The plugin registers the Users screen with the framework's admin (`pact.HasAdminControllers`, controller ID `golem15.user.users`), the port of the WinterCMS `Users` controller: a list with search, the group, registration date and activated filters and row states (deactivated, banned, not activated); a read-only preview with a status hint; and a form with name, email, a password with confirmation, an optional invitation mail, the user's groups, the organisation, the avatar and the user's frontend permissions. Bulk actions activate, deactivate, restore, ban and unban users; the preview offers activate, unban and unsuspend while they apply. Deactivating is the soft delete, and deactivate and ban both end the user's earlier sessions and personal API tokens (see Deactivation and bans); the delete button and the bulk delete remove a user for good, together with the throttle rows, group memberships and attachments. A user created in the admin starts not activated. There is no impersonation and no guest account.
- **User Groups screen.** Controller ID `golem15.user.usergroups`, the port of the WinterCMS `UserGroups` controller, behind `golem15.users.access_groups`: a list with the name, code, creation date and number of members, and a form with the name, the code (letters, digits, underscore and hyphen; unique), a description and the group's frontend permissions as checkboxes, stored in `user_groups.permissions` as a JSON object of code to `1`. A group can be deleted from its form; its memberships go with it and its members stay. The screen never changes who is in a group.
- **Organisations screen.** Controller ID `golem15.user.organisations`, the port of the WinterCMS `Organisations` controller, behind `golem15.users.access_users`: a list and a form with the name, slug, description and avatar, and on an existing organisation the Members tab. Adding a member sets that user's `organisation_id` and removing one clears it; both also clear the user's `organisation_role`, so a role never moves to another organisation or outlives the membership. A user is never deleted. Only users without an organisation can be added, so a user moves by being removed from one organisation and added to the other (or through the organisation field of the user form, where a save that changes the organisation, to another one or to none, clears `organisation_role` unless the same save writes it). Deleting an organisation clears `organisation_id` and `organisation_role` of its members first.
- **Privileged groups.** The groups whose code is listed in `golem15.user.privileged_groups` (default `admin`) are privileged: an application may treat their members as site administrators. Three things therefore need the backend permission `golem15.users.manage_privileged_groups` on top of the screen's own permission, and answer 403 without it, saving nothing. First, membership: adding a privileged group to a user or removing it, on create and on update of the user form. An administrator without the permission sees those groups locked in the field and can still change the user's other groups. Second, the code: creating a group with a privileged code, changing a group's code to or from a privileged one, and deleting a privileged group. Its name, description and frontend permissions need only `golem15.users.access_groups`. Codes compare case-sensitively, and a group without a code is never privileged. Third, the member's account, which is protected against takeover: changing that user's email or password, and deleting them for good, needs the backend permission `golem15.users.manage_privileged_groups` on top of `golem15.users.access_users`. Without it the request answers 403 and nothing is saved; a bulk delete that contains such a user deletes none of the selected users. Everything else on such a user (name, organisation, avatar, frontend permissions, activate, deactivate, restore, ban, unban, unsuspend) needs only `golem15.users.access_users`. `PrivilegedGroupCodes`, `IsPrivilegedCode`, `PrivilegedGroupIDs` and `IsPrivilegedMember` expose the rule to other code.
- **Frontend permissions.** `golem15_user_frontend_permissions` is the catalogue of permissions a site defines for its users (rows come from the application's migrations or seeds). A user's own choices are stored in `users.permissions` and a group's in `user_groups.permissions`, as a JSON object of code to `1` (allow) or `-1` (deny). `MergedPermissions` combines them as PHP `getMergedPermissions` does: among a user's groups the most positive value wins, then the user's own value replaces the groups'. `HasPermission` and `UserHasPermission` answer whether a code is held: only at exactly `1`, with Winter's `*` wildcards. Neither value appears in the user payload, whose `permissions` key stays `null`.
- **Last seen.** `users.last_seen` is stamped by `POST /login` and a successful `POST /refresh` through `TouchLastSeen`, at most once per five minutes per user. A failed write is logged and never fails authentication. It is shown in the admin list and is not part of any user payload.
- **Address proof.** `users.email_verified_at` records when the account's owner proved control of the address (`User.EmailVerifiedAt`). Exactly two flows write it: the mailed activation code (`POST /activate`, `POST /activate-by-code` and the invitation link, through `VerifyActivationCode`) and a completed reset-code password reset (`POST /reset-password`). `POST /register` in `auto` or `admin` mode, `RegisterUser`, an administrator's create and the admin Activate action, `POST /change-password` and social sign-ins record none. The proof follows the address: an email change through `POST /update` or the admin Users form clears it, while a change of letter case only keeps it. The column is never mass-assigned and is in no user API payload, admin form or list. No migration or code path backfills it: accounts from before v0.1.5 have no proof. An application that trusts its imported addresses may set the column in its own data migration; this plugin does not. A social-login plugin links a verified provider's identity onto an existing account only when it is set.
- **Handle.** `users.handle` is a unique nullable `VARCHAR(255)` generated on create (`classes.HandleGenerator`, charset `[a-z0-9._-]`, length 2–255). It is omitted from the user JSON payload (`json:"-"`). `user:backfill-handles` fills existing rows that still have none.
- **User lighthouse authorizer.** Boot calls `classes.RegisterUserAuthorizer`: `lighthouse.From` then `Registry.Register("user", …)` if the namespace is free. `classes.AuthorizeUser` allows only `user:{id}` for that user (`lighthouse.ChannelID` on the two-segment name).
- **Shared API tokens.** `user_api_tokens` stores one hashed personal/OAuth credential per user for the whole application. The `user.api_token` guard authenticates it for any plugin; `user.scope:<scope>` limits delegated access and `user.permission:<code>` checks the user's current group permissions. `POST/GET/DELETE /tokens` manage personal tokens, and `user:token:create`, `user:token:list` and `user:token:revoke` provide the CLI equivalent. A raw secret is shown only when created.
- **Mail templates.** Activation, reset, reactivation and invitation mails in Polish and English (`golem15.user::mail.*`, layout `golem15.user::mail.layouts.user`); the locale follows the user (`ResolveMailLocale`). The invitation (`golem15.user::mail.invite`) is sent when an administrator creates a user with "Send invitation by email" set; it carries the user's login and an activation link, never the password.
- **Extension events.** `RegisterEvent` fires after a user row is created; its `Payload` is a copy of the register input (extra keys a client sent included, `password` and `password_confirmation` never), so it is untrusted client input. `CreatedEvent` (`classes.CreatedEventName` `user.Created`) fires from API register and admin create. `/register` logs a failing `RegisterEvent` or `CreatedEvent` listener at Error level and continues: a committed registration is never undone or failed by a listener. `DeletingEvent` (`classes.DeletingEventName` `user.Deleting`) fires from `FormAfterDelete` before `ForceDeleteCleanup` / unscoped delete, inside the same transaction. `GetApiArrayEvent` lets other plugins merge keys into the user payload.
- **Registration for other plugins.** `RegisterUser`, `FireRegisterEvent`, `IssueToken` and `APIArray` are the steps `POST /register` runs, exported so another plugin (a first-run setup endpoint, for example) creates a user with the same validation, hashing, event, token and payload.
- **OAuth providers.** `GET /oauth-providers` lists the social sign-in providers a social-login plugin has enabled, read on every request from its published `classes.OAuthProviderSource`. Without one it answers the empty list, as before.
- **Sign-in helpers for social login.** `RegisterOptions.PasswordLess`, `FinishLogin`, `RegistrationSettings`, `RegistrationsFromIP`, `RefreshTTL` and `RemoteIP` let a social-login plugin create accounts and finish logins with the user plugin's own rules instead of copies.
## Usage
Mount the plugin in an application as a git submodule at `plugins/golem15/user`:
```sh
git submodule add git@git.golem15.com:golem15/sm-user-plugin.git plugins/golem15/user
```
Add it to the application's `go.work`:
```text
use (
.
./plugins/golem15/user
)
```
Require it in the application's `go.mod` with a local replace:
```text
require git.golem15.com/golem15/sm-user-plugin v0.0.0
replace git.golem15.com/golem15/sm-user-plugin => ./plugins/golem15/user
```
List it in `summer.yaml` and run `summer build`:
```yaml
module: git.golem15.com/golem15/acme
binary: acme
plugins:
- id: golem15.user
module: git.golem15.com/golem15/sm-user-plugin
```
The plugin's own `go.mod` replaces the framework with `../../../../summercms.go`, so it expects the framework checkout next to the application checkout (`<dir>/summercms.go` and `<dir>/acme/plugins/golem15/user`).
Because the plugin registers an admin screen, an application that loads it mounts the framework's admin API and must set `admin.jwt.secret` (`SUMMER_ADMIN__JWT__SECRET`); start-up fails while it is empty. The admin screens need framework release v0.1.3 or later.
Another plugin that needs the signed-in user puts its routes behind `jwt.auth`. A machine API uses `user.api_token`, optionally followed by `user.scope:read`, `user.scope:write`, or `user.permission:vendor.plugin.code`. Both guards resolve the same user and current group permissions. Import `git.golem15.com/golem15/sm-user-plugin/models`, `.../classes`, or `.../middleware` for the shared types and helpers.
## API reference
All routes are mounted under `/_user/api/v1` with the `throttle:user-api` middleware.
| Method and path | Handler |
|-----------------|---------|
| `POST /login` | `controllers.Login` |
| `POST /logout` | `controllers.Logout` |
| `GET /fetch` | `controllers.Fetch` |
| `POST /refresh` | `controllers.Refresh` |
| `POST /register` | `controllers.Register` |
| `GET /oauth-providers` | `controllers.OAuthProviders` |
| `POST /forgot-password` | `controllers.ForgotPassword` |
| `POST /reset-password` | `controllers.ResetPassword` |
| `POST /activate` | `controllers.Activate` |
| `POST /activate-by-code` | `controllers.ActivateByCode` |
| `POST /update` | `controllers.Update` |
| `POST /change-password` | `controllers.ChangePassword` |
| `POST /marketing-consent` | `controllers.MarketingConsent` |
| `POST /avatar` | `controllers.UploadAvatar` |
| `POST /avatar/remove` | `controllers.RemoveAvatar` |
| `POST /tokens` | `controllers.APITokenStore` (`jwt.auth`) |
| `GET /tokens` | `controllers.APITokenIndex` (`jwt.auth`) |
| `DELETE /tokens/{id}` | `controllers.APITokenDestroy` (`jwt.auth`) |
`/fetch`, `/refresh`, `/update`, `/change-password`, `/activate`, `/marketing-consent`, `/avatar`, `/avatar/remove` and the `jwt.auth` routes read the session token from the bearer header, then the `token` and `auth_token` cookies.
### Host-mounted OAuth identities
The host application mounts these constructors on a path it chooses. They are not registered under `/_user/api/v1`. `OAuthIdentitiesOptions.WriteNotFound` is the host's 404 writer so missing, foreign and unknown providers share one body. `OAuthIdentitiesOptions.Providers` is the unlink allow-list; when empty it is read on every request from a published `classes.OAuthProviderSource` (its `KnownOAuthProviders`), else it is `google`, `facebook`, `github` and `microsoft`. Unlinking follows the PHP rule: it succeeds when the user has a self-set password (`has_self_set_password`) or another identity remains, and otherwise answers 409 with the phrase `golem15.user::lang.oauth.last_method_blocked` (body unchanged). The guarded delete runs in a transaction that first locks the user's `users` row, so two concurrent unlinks never remove the last sign-in method.
| Constructor | Role |
|-------------|------|
| `controllers.OAuthIdentitiesIndex` | Lists the caller's linked providers as `{provider, linked_at}` only. |
| `controllers.OAuthIdentitiesDestroy` | Unlinks one provider for the caller (204), or answers 409 when it is the last sign-in method of a user without a self-set password. |
| `controllers.OAuthIdentitiesOptions` | Host injects `Providers` and `WriteNotFound`. |
### Admin
The three screens are served by the framework's generic admin API under `<admin prefix>/api/v1/golem15/user/users`, `.../usergroups` and `.../organisations`; the plugin adds no admin route of its own.
| Item | Value |
|------|-------|
| Admin controllers | `golem15.user.users`, `golem15.user.usergroups` and `golem15.user.organisations`, from `controllers.AdminControllers` |
| Navigation | main item `user` (order 555) with the side items `users`, `usergroups` and `organisations`, each shown to an administrator who holds its permission |
| Relation manager | `members` on `golem15.user.organisations` (link and unlink) |
| Bulk actions (Users) | `activate`, `deactivate`, `restore`, `ban`, `unban`, and the built-in delete; `deactivate` and `ban` also revoke the selected users' sessions and personal API tokens |
| Record actions (Users) | `activate`, `unban`, `unsuspend` |
Backend permissions, all on the tab `golem15.user::lang.plugin.tab`:
| Code | Default role | Grants |
|------|--------------|--------|
| `golem15.users.access_users` | `developer` | The Users screen and every action on it, including a user's membership of ordinary groups, and the Organisations screen with its members. |
| `golem15.users.access_groups` | `developer` | The User Groups screen. |
| `golem15.users.access_settings` | `developer` | Registered for roles that already name it; no screen uses it yet. |
| `golem15.users.impersonate_user` | `developer` | Registered for roles that already name it; impersonation is not available. |
| `golem15.users.manage_privileged_groups` | none | Adding a privileged group to a user or removing it; creating, re-coding or deleting a privileged group; changing the email or password of a privileged-group member, and deleting one for good. Only a superuser or a role that was granted it holds it. |

Packages:
- `controllers`: the route handlers above, `AdminControllers` (the admin controller list), `PermissionAccessUsers` and `PermissionAccessGroups`, plus the registration steps `POST /register` runs, for other plugins:
- `RegisterUser(ctx, app, db, fields, RegisterOptions)` validates `fields` against the user model's rules, hashes the password with `golem15.user.password.bcrypt_cost` and creates the user on `db` (which may be a transaction). It fills only the `User.RegisterFillable` columns and ignores every other key of `fields`: an organisation membership and role are set with an explicit update after creation, as an application's onboarding does. It returns the validation errors instead of writing a response and never modifies `fields`. `RegisterOptions.Activate` creates the account activated; `RegisterOptions.IP` records the client IP and is the only source of `created_ip_address` and `last_ip_address` (both stay NULL without it, whatever `fields` says); `RegisterOptions.PasswordLess` stores `has_self_set_password=false` for an account whose random password the user never knew (a social sign-in), while the zero value keeps `true`.
- `FireRegisterEvent(ctx, app, user, fields)` fires `RegisterEvent` with `Payload` set to a copy of `fields` without `password` and `password_confirmation`, and returns the listeners' error (`/register` logs it and continues). `Payload` carries every extra key the client sent, so treat it as untrusted. Fire it after the user row is committed.
- `FireCreatedEvent(ctx, app, user)` fires `CreatedEvent` (`user.Created`) and returns the listeners' error; `/register` logs it and continues.
- `FireDeletingEvent(ctx, app, user, tx)` fires `DeletingEvent` (`user.Deleting`) inside the delete transaction.
- `FireDeactivatingEvent(ctx, app, user, tx)` fires `DeactivatingEvent` (`user.Deactivating`) inside the deactivation transaction. The admin deactivate bulk action fires it after `DeactivateUsers` (so the user's sessions and API tokens are already revoked) for every selected user that was not deactivated yet; a listener error rolls the action back.
- `IssueToken(app, user, r)` mints the session JWT as `/register` and `/login` do.
- `APIArray(ctx, app, user)` builds the user payload, extended by `GetApiArrayEvent` listeners.
- `FinishLogin(ctx, app, db, user, ip)` runs the steps `POST /login` takes after authentication, for a caller that authenticated the user another way (a social sign-in): it restores a soft-deleted account and sends the reactivate mail, records `ip` as `last_ip_address` and touches `last_seen` (a failure there is only logged). It checks no password, throttle, activation or ban and fires no event; the caller does those checks.
- `RegistrationSettings(app)` returns `allow_registration`, `use_register_throttle`, `activate_mode` and `require_activation` with their defaults (`true`, `true`, `auto`, `true`), and `RegistrationsFromIP(ctx, db, ip)` counts the accounts created from an IP in the last 60 minutes (`/register` refuses at 3 with the throttle on).
- `RefreshTTL(app)` is the refresh window, `golem15.user.jwt.refresh_ttl` minutes (default 20160), and `RemoteIP(r)` the host part of `r.RemoteAddr`, with no proxy handling (`/login` and `/register` use `surf.ClientIP` with `http.trusted_proxies`).
- `classes`: `JWTSecret`, `GormUsers` (the `bouncer.UserProvider`), `LookupByEmail`, `UserPermissionGrants`, `UserGroupCodes`, `HasGroupCode`, `APITokenPrefix`, `MintAPIToken`, `HashAPIToken` and `RevokeAPIToken`, plus the activation/reset, throttle, mail locale and event helpers. `RegisterEvent` carries `User` and `Payload map[string]any`, a read-only copy of the register input without the password keys. For the admin and for other plugins it also has:
- `MergedPermissions(ctx, db, userID)`, `HasPermission(merged, code)` and `UserHasPermission(ctx, db, userID, code)`, the frontend permission resolver, and `FrontendPermissionOptions(ctx, db)`, the catalogue by tab and code.
- `PermissionManagePrivilegedGroups`, `PrivilegedGroupCodes(cfg)`, `IsPrivilegedCode(codes, code)`, `PrivilegedGroupIDs(ctx, db, codes)` and `IsPrivilegedMember(ctx, db, codes, userID)`, the privileged-group rule.
- `ActivateUsers`, `DeactivateUsers`, `RestoreUsers`, `BanUsers`, `UnbanUsers`, `UnsuspendUser`, `ThrottleStates` and `ForceDeleteCleanup`, the user actions the admin runs. Each takes the handle of the caller's transaction.
- `RevokeUserAccess(ctx, db, userIDs)` ends every session JWT issued before the current second (it stamps `users.tokens_valid_after`, deactivated rows included) and revokes every personal API token of the users. `DeactivateUsers` and `BanUsers` call it; an application may call it for its own offboarding and after writing a ban directly to `user_throttle`.
- `TouchLastSeen(ctx, db, userID)`.
- `OAuthProvider` (`Name`, `Label`) and `OAuthProviderSource` (`EnabledOAuthProviders(ctx)`, `KnownOAuthProviders()`), the seam a social-login plugin publishes with an explicit type argument, `app.Publish[classes.OAuthProviderSource](src)`, so the lookup finds it. `GET /oauth-providers` lists its enabled providers in order; the unlink routes accept its known names.
- `EndSession(ctx, app, w, r)` is what `POST /logout` runs: it blacklists every session JWT the request carries (bearer header, `token` and `auth_token` cookies) that verifies, an expired one too while its refresh window is open, until that window closes, writes the forget cookies described under JWT sessions, and returns the subject of the token the guard would read (`""` when there is none or it does not verify); only a failing blacklist write is an error.
- `SessionToken(r)`, the session JWT the `jwt` guard reads from a request (bearer header, then the `token` and `auth_token` cookies; `""` when there is none); `SessionTokenCookie(r)`, the name of the session cookie that supplied that token (`""` when the bearer header did or there is none), which `POST /refresh` uses to rewrite the `auth.cookie` cookie; and `SessionCookieNames()`, a copy of that cookie list to pass to `bouncer.NewJWTGuard`, so a handler's own guard reads the same token.
- `RequestUser(ctx, app, r)` and `EndRequestSession(ctx, app, w, r)`, for handlers that serve signed-in and anonymous browsers on one route (an OAuth provider's authorize page). `RequestUser` reads and checks the session JWT exactly as the `jwt` guard does (bearer header, then the `token` and `auth_token` cookies, the blacklist, `tokens_valid_after`) and returns the user, or `nil` for an anonymous, invalid, expired or blacklisted request and for a soft-deleted user; only an infrastructure failure is an error. `EndRequestSession` is the best-effort `EndSession`: it revokes and forgets the same way (the forget cookie of `bouncer.LoadCookieConfig`), but a blacklist failure is logged, never returned.
- `AvatarURL(ctx, app, user, size)`, the display picture rule of the user payload at any size: the avatar thumbnail (size by size, mode auto) when the user has an avatar and a file bucket is published, the file path when the thumbnail fails, otherwise the gravatar URL. The URL may be protocol-relative or relative. The payload's `avatar_url` comes from it at 128.
- `HandleGenerator`, `AssignHandle(ctx, db, user)`, `CreatedEvent` / `CreatedEventName`, `DeletingEvent` / `DeletingEventName`, `DeactivatingEvent` / `DeactivatingEventName`, `AuthorizeUser` and `RegisterUserAuthorizer`.
- `middleware`: `APITokenGuard`, `Scope`, `Permission` and `BearerToken`.
- `models`: `User`, `Throttle`, `Organisation`, `UserGroup`, `UsersGroup` (the `users_groups` pivot), `APIToken`, `OAuthIdentity`, `FrontendPermission` and `PermissionSet`. `PermissionSet` reads a stored permission column tolerantly (NULL, an empty string, `[]`, numeric strings) and writes a JSON object of integers; `ParsePermissionSet` and `PermissionSet.Text` do the same for a column that is a plain string on its model. `UserGroup.UsersCount` is filled only by a query that selects `users_count` (the admin list does). `Organisation.Members` is the relation behind the members manager, `Organisation.AttachRelations` declares its avatar (`OrganisationAvatarField`), and `Slugify` is the slug rule. `User.FilterScope` answers the admin list scope `FilterByGroup`, and `User.AttachRelations` declares the avatar (`AvatarField`). `User.RegisterFillable` is the registration allow-list; `User.Fillable` is the wider mass-assignment backstop of the admin Users form (cabana intersects it with the form's fields) and of trusted application code.
- `updates`: the gormigrate migrations, returned by `updates.All()`.
- `console`: `RequirePasswordChange`, `BackfillHandles` and `APITokenCommands`.
## Configuration
Defaults live in `config/config.yaml` and are merged under `golem15.user.*`. Any key can be overridden by an environment variable in the framework's `SUMMER_` form.
| Key | Default | Meaning |
|-----|---------|---------|
| `golem15.user.jwt.secret` | `""` | HS256 signing secret. Required: boot fails while it is empty. Set it with `SUMMER_GOLEM15__USER__JWT__SECRET`; there is no production default. |
| `golem15.user.jwt.ttl` | `60` | Access token lifetime in minutes. |
| `golem15.user.jwt.refresh_ttl` | `20160` | Refresh window in minutes. |
| `golem15.user.jwt.blacklist_grace` | `0` | Grace period in seconds for a blacklisted token. |
| `golem15.user.jwt.leeway` | `0` | Clock leeway in seconds (declared for parity, not read yet). |
| `golem15.user.jwt.blacklist_sweep_interval` | `10m` | How often expired blacklist rows are deleted (a Go duration). |
| `golem15.user.jwt.token_cookie` | `false` | When on, `POST /login`, `POST /register` (when it signs the new account in) and `POST /activate-by-code` set the HttpOnly session cookie with the `auth.cookie.*` attributes (`bouncer.LoadCookieConfig`; Max-Age `refresh_ttl`) and leave `token` out of the body (`user`, and `message` on activate-by-code, stay). When off, the token is in the body and no cookie is set. The twin of `golem15.sociallogin.token_cookie`. |
| `golem15.user.activation.require_activation` | `true` | Whether an account must be activated before login. When `true`, `POST /login` refuses a not-activated account (the opaque invalid-login answer, counted as a failed attempt) and `/register` in `admin` mode returns no token; when `false`, both sign such an account in. |
| `golem15.user.activation.activate_mode` | `auto` | `auto`, `user` (mailed code) or `admin`. |
| `golem15.user.activation.reset_ttl_minutes` | `60` | Password reset code lifetime. |
| `golem15.user.activation.activation_ttl_hours` | `72` | Activation code lifetime. |
| `golem15.user.registration.allow_registration` | `true` | Whether `POST /register` accepts new accounts. |
| `golem15.user.registration.use_register_throttle` | `true` | Whether registration is limited to three accounts per IP an hour. |
| `golem15.user.throttle.attempt_limit` | `5` | Failed logins before suspension. |
| `golem15.user.throttle.suspension_minutes` | `15` | Suspension length. |
| `golem15.user.throttle.use_throttle` | `true` | Whether login throttling is on. |
| `golem15.user.password.bcrypt_cost` | `10` | bcrypt cost for new password hashes. |
| `golem15.user.password.min_length` | `8` | Minimum password length. |
| `golem15.user.api_tokens.prefix` | `usr_` | Prefix for newly minted and accepted shared API-token secrets. Override an existing application's legacy prefix without creating a plugin-specific token table. |
| `golem15.user.privileged_groups` | `[admin]` | Codes of the privileged user groups. Membership of such a group, the group's code and its delete, and the email, password and permanent delete of its members need `golem15.users.manage_privileged_groups`. Read on every request. An empty list protects no group. |
| `golem15.user.turnstile` | `""` | Cloudflare Turnstile on `POST /login` and `POST /register`. Empty adds nothing; `open` or `closed` appends the framework's `turnstile:open` or `turnstile:closed` middleware to those two routes only (summercms v0.3.0 and later; secret in `turnstile.secret`, token in the `turnstile_token` field). `open` lets requests pass when Cloudflare is unreachable, `closed` refuses them. Any other value fails boot. |
## CLI commands
| Command | Purpose | Example |
|---------|---------|---------|
| `user:require-password-change <email>` | Flag an account so its next session must set a new password. Ends with `Password change required for <email>`. | `bin/<app> user:require-password-change jane@example.com` |
| `user:backfill-handles` | Assign a unique handle to every user row that still has none, with a progress bar. Ends with `Assigned handles to N user(s)`. | `bin/<app> user:backfill-handles` |
| `user:token:create <email> [--name api] [--scopes read,write] [--expires RFC3339] [--json]` | Create an application-wide API token and print its secret once (also under `-q`); `--json` prints the token and its details as one object. | `bin/<app> user:token:create jane@example.com --scopes read --json` |
| `user:token:list` | List token metadata without secrets or hashes; `--json` prints a JSON array with the expiry, revocation and last-use times. | `bin/<app> user:token:list --json` |
| `user:token:revoke <id>` | Revoke a shared API token immediately. | `bin/<app> user:token:revoke 12` |
Each command uses the database the serve command published or, run from the console, opens one from `database.dsn` (and loads the encryption keys from `app.key`) for its duration. `bin/<app> help <command>` shows each command's long help and examples. The plugin logs through the component `user` (`log.components.user` in `config/log.yaml`).
## Dependencies
- The SummerCMS framework v0.4.3, `git.golem15.com/golem15/summercms` (modules `backpack`, `bonfire`, `bouncer`, `diary`, `pact`, `party`, `surf` and others).
- The organisation role cleanup of the admin (members manager and user form) uses cabana's `ClearOnChange`, added in SummerCMS v0.4.3.
- gormigrate, GORM, golang-jwt and gocloud.dev, as pinned in `go.mod`.
- testcontainers-go for the Postgres-backed tests.
## Testing
```sh
go test -short ./... # fast run, no Docker
go test ./... # full run, starts Postgres with testcontainers (needs Docker)
```
`TestRegisterCORSPath` reads the host application's `config/http.yaml`, so run the tests inside an application checkout where the plugin is mounted at `plugins/golem15/user`.
`TestCommandsDocumented` (in `-short`) logs, without failing, each command whose help lacks a description, long help, examples or an option description (`bonfire.CheckDocs`).
`TestRegisterIgnoresProtectedFields` posts organisation, IP and account-flag keys to `/register` and `RegisterUser` and checks that only the allow-listed columns and the server-side IP are stored; `TestRegisterListenerErrors` checks that failing register and created listeners do not fail the registration.
`TestOffboarding` runs the admin deactivate and ban bulk actions and checks that the user's older session JWT and personal API token stop working, that a password login restores a deactivated account with a working token while the old credentials stay dead, and that unban revives nothing; `TestRefreshSubjectChecks` covers the `/refresh` subject checks; `TestRevokeUserAccess` (in `classes`) covers the revocation writes.
`TestLogoutEndsTheSession` signs in through `POST /login` and logs out with the bearer header, with only the `token` or `auth_token` cookie, and with both a bearer and a different cookie token, then checks that the token is refused on a `jwt.auth` route, at `/fetch` and at `/refresh`, each through every carrier (bearer header, `token` cookie, `auth_token` cookie), that the forget cookies match the token cookie's attributes (also with a configured domain and SameSite), that the blacklist row lasts for the refresh window so `/refresh` stays refused after the sweep that follows the access token's expiry, that an expired but refreshable token is revoked, and which tokens a logout refuses with 401.
`TestBootBeforeDatabase` boots in the serve order (`party.Activate` with no database, then `lagoon.Publish`, through `newServeOrderEnv` in `admin_harness_test.go`). It checks that the blacklist store and the GORM hooks are installed on Publish and not before, and that a token ended by `POST /logout` is refused on a `jwt.auth` route through every carrier, at `/fetch` and at `/refresh`, with its `jwt_blacklist` row. `TestAppBlacklist` (in `-short`) covers the guard's per-request store lookup: no store, delegation and a failing store.
`TestSessionRoutesAcceptCookies` checks that a session `jwt.auth` accepts through only the `token` or `auth_token` cookie is served by `GET /fetch`, `POST /refresh` (through `token`, the `auth.cookie` default, the rotated token comes back in a rewritten cookie with a `{}` body; through `auth_token` it comes in the body with no cookie; the old token is refused afterwards), `POST /update`, `POST /change-password` (the calling token stays valid) and `POST /marketing-consent`; that a request without credentials still gets the old 401 bodies; that the bearer header wins over a cookie exactly as on `jwt.auth`, an invalid bearer included; and that a cut-off token and a banned user are refused through the cookie.
`TestLoginRequiresActivation` pins the activation gate of `POST /login`: under the default and an explicit `require_activation: true` a not-activated account's correct password gets the byte-identical 401 (status, body, `Content-Type` and `Cache-Control`) of a wrong password, stamps no `last_seen`, adds one throttle attempt and suspends the account after `attempt_limit` refusals; `require_activation: false` and activated accounts sign in; a deactivated activated account is restored with the reactivate mail, and a deactivated not-activated account is refused and stays deactivated unless the key is off.
`TestLoginThrottleClientIP` sends failed logins through one trusted proxy (`http.trusted_proxies`). It checks that the throttle row carries the `X-Forwarded-For` client, and that this client is suspended while another client behind the same proxy still signs in. It also checks that without trusted proxies a changing `X-Forwarded-For` neither moves the counter nor escapes the suspension.
`TestRefreshRewritesAuthCookie` covers the cookie-carried `POST /refresh`: the `token` cookie rewritten with the rotated token and the `LoadCookieConfig` attributes (the old token refused, the new one served by `/fetch` and `jwt.auth`), `auth_token` and bearer refreshes left body-only (the bearer wins over a cookie), a configured cookie name and refresh window, refusals that set no cookie, and a broken `auth.cookie` block that answers the opaque 500 and rotates nothing. `TestSessionTokenCookie` (in `-short`) is the carrier table of `classes.SessionTokenCookie`.
`TestTokenCookie` covers `golem15.user.jwt.token_cookie`: off by default (body tokens, no cookie); on for `POST /login`, `POST /register` and `POST /activate-by-code`, with the session cookie serving `/fetch` and rotating through a cookie refresh and no `token` in the body; `POST /tokens` unaffected; a configured cookie name and refresh window; and a broken `auth.cookie` block that answers the opaque 500 and signs in, creates and activates nothing.
`TestAdminOrganisationMembershipClearsRole` checks that the members manager's unlink and link and a Users form save that changes the organisation clear `organisation_role`, that a save keeping the organisation keeps it, and that deleting an organisation clears both columns.
The admin tests (`TestAdmin*`) boot the plugin with the admin API mounted on a database of their own and sign in backend administrators with a chosen permission set; the helpers are in `admin_harness_test.go`.
