We are using GitHub Enterprise 2.5.1.
In our company, when a user switches to a new role, a new AD account will be created for him, with a new set of permissions. e.g. my current account is "huj" as a developer with email address "Jirong_Hu#otpp.com, if I become a BA, then:
The old account "huj" will be marked as "OIM Deletion" in AD.
A new account called "huj2" will be created for me, with the same old email address, Jirong_Hu#otpp.com.
My questions are:
As account is automatically created upon login, if I login to GitHub with the new account "huj2", I got this error: Unable to create the user because email Jirong_Hu#otpp.com is already taken and emails is invalid.
How can I create the new account "huj2" in GitHub, with the same old email address.
What's the consequence of doing the above?
I know this is an old post but it still shows at the top on a Google search on this subject.
Some email providers support using special characters to use multiple email addresses that map to a single account.
For example, if you use Gmail and your email address is myemail#gmail.com and you already have an account on GitHub with that email you can create a new GitHub account using myemail+1#gmail.com
The simple answer is NO.
You can't create more than 1 ID in GitHub by the same email, but you can do it by using multiple email IDs.
If you try to do it, GitHub will show an error - "email invalid or already taken", so delete the present account or make it with a new email id .
There are two ways to resolve this issue:
If the existing user has no activity, then delete this existing account.
Otherwise change his email to something else, then when the new user logs in, a new account will be created.

I have a situation where I am creating an Account record from a contact using a workflow, but I would like to have the Contact section in the Account be filled with the Contact from who I am creating that Account record using a workflow. How do I enter the contact in it using Workflow.
I need the contacts related to the Account show up here.
Thank you in advance
What you have to do is:
Once you have created the account, you need to update the contact and assign the parent account referencing the newly created account
For my own gmail account, I have multiple email addresses associated with it. For example, I have an email address from my university that is associated with my gmail, and I can send emails from my gmail as if they are coming from my university email address.
I'm reading up on the Google APIs, and I see that I can get a user's gmail address, but can I also get any other email address that is associated with their gmail account?
When a user logs in to my site, I'd like to present them with a list of the gmail-associated email addresses and let them select the one they would like to use.
EDIT: Thanks everyone for the answers, but I don't think any of them answers the question. I've been playing with Google's OAuth playground. It is strange that I can get lots of very personal information (a list of a user's contacts and even received emails) but I can't get the user's alternative email addresses.
Your description is a little vague. Are you talking about send-as alias accounts or alternate email accounts?
Send-as Alias
Either way, you can interact with the send-as accounts here: Manage Send-as Alias
Alternate Emails via Admin SDK
As for alternate email accounts, they can be accessed via:
Admin SDK: https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/guides/manage-user-aliases?hl=en
Google Apps Script: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/gmail/gmail-app#getAliases()
Additional info here on how the accounts work.

Federated Login
Also, I'm not exactly sure how you are trying to incorporate this functionality into your site but another area I recommend checking out is Federated Login for Google Account Users. This might also provide you with the functionality you seek.
Using federated login (also known as federated identity), your website
or application can allow visitors to sign in using their Google user
accounts. Federated login frees users from having to set up separate
login accounts for different websites, and frees you from the task of
implementing login authentication measures.
It has been a while since the question was asked. You can use the Google People API to get a user's primary email address and aliases. Here's the documentation. The scope you need to use is: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/user.addresses.read
This will return all the email addresses for the user and also tell you which is the primary one.
If you use OAuth to have your users sign-in with their Google accounts (with or without G+) the user will be prompted (by Google) to select which of their accounts they wish to authorize your application to use:
https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2Login
So to directly answer your question, I'm not aware of an API to return that list of users - however you shouldn't need to, Google will take care of this before returning to your application.
If your user is already logged in, and you wish to give them the ability to change the Google account they are using, I believe it is possible to prompt them again to select the account they are interested in (search for select_account on the link above).
This is possible. However, this has changed since Google announced the deprecation of their Google+ People API, which a lot of folks used to get all the email addresses for a user. The current most voted answer now goes to a 404.
Google Plus People API Replacement
Google has replaced the Google Plus People API /plus/v1/people/me with https://developers.google.com/people/ and you’ll want to use the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/user.emails.read profile scope as discussed here as a replacement. The schema is different, so you'll need to change your mapping as well.
If your app already used the following scopes from the old /plus/v1/people/me your user will not have to re-consent when you switch to the new API:
email
profile
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.profile.agerange.read
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.profile.emails.read
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.profile.language.read
I have an existing website in MVC4.
Now I am looking forward to upgrade it to MVC5.
I wanna use External Authentication, however, what I want is that when use select any of the External Login option (Except Twitter, I am not going to use it), all I want is to get his/her Name and email address.
I don't wanna store anything in the database with the username or other details associated.
I just need to grab the Name and email address and if it matches with existing email, user will be logged in, otherwise, new account will be created.
It will be great if anyone can help me with this with small tutorial, to read Name, email and other extra details from the user, instead of adding it to the database.
My question is almost the same as this one
only difference is that users has an option to register (provides his username and password).Users should only have one account registered, if the user has the same email I merged those accounts. and my application has another method for logging in which is via Facebook.
What I basically do is
When The User visits the for site for the first time, he or she then
gets created a User Account where the it only has Username ,password
and mail address after that third-party identity record is created
and then paired with the local account.however the Users table will
have an empty Username and password, but the email will be filled
with the users email that we have retrieved from the third party
service provider
And the Second Scenario
Users attempts Register to the site. check if email exist if the
email exist but it is registered using a third party account, Use
the user populated form and insert it to the user account paired
with the third party account, in short if the users email exist in the database I
will just merged the locally created account and the third party
account.
Now my question is my approach secure and credible? if not what is the best way to merge accounts and at the same time if the user registers with the same email(the one from the third party account) and he has a third party account, those account would be merge?
The way I look at this, there is only one account. One email, one account period. There might be various attributes associated with that account, like for e.g. linked to a set of OAuth credentials etc. But fundamentally there is only one account. If your user has registered once using a social account and then try to register again on your site, send them over to the social site which they used to register the first time and ask them to login there. Then log them into your site automatically. If the user has an account with your site and then tries to register again with a social account, tell them that you already have an account on the site and ask them to login. IMHO, keeping separate accounts and trying to merge them is a messy idea.
I would provide two sets of behavior, one when logged in and one when logged out.
When logged in, you provide the ability to link to new third-party accounts. For example, you sign up with email address and password, then log in, then you can link your Facebook account. To link your Facebook account you authorize with Facebook and then store the Facebook information in that user account record.
When logged out, you must log in with existing credentials. If, when logged out, you try to create an account with an existing email address, you either prevent the log in, saying "an account with that email address already exists", or you immediately challenge the user to log in to merge the account (in which case it works like the logged in case when linking an external account, only with the order of authentication operations reversed).
In case it's not clear from the above, I recommend having a single user account and a way to record linkages between that account and external accounts. You can do this in NoSQL buy just adding fields to the user document or you can do this relationally by having a table representing external accounts with a foreign key linking them to the user ID.
Beware not to use oAuth 2.0 !
The lead author himself resigned as it's not as safe as the 1.0 version.
You should prefer oAuth 1.0 or OpenID.

I'm trying to resubmit my website to Google AdSense and it's giving the following error again and again:
A user with the email you specified
already exists Please select a
different Google Account login to
access this account.
How to resolve this issue?
I have changed my password, recovered it but still not working.
You could try logging in to the account associated with the email address you are trying. It sounds like you're trying to create an account using an email address that you have already used to create a different account.
