CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have an interesting scenario and I'm looking for some docs on how CiviCRM deals with a situation like this.  If you have some docs please point me in the right direction.  If not, please elaborate here and I will try to write some docs myself.

CiviCRM Contact has 2 emails:
whatever@foo.com (primary)
something.else@gmail.com



1. A current Drupal account already exists using email whatever@foo.com, and the Drupal user and CiviCRM contact are linked.  What happens if this person creates another Drupal account using something.else@gmail.com?    Will the new Drupal user and the existing contact record be linked?   (I think not, but please confirm).

2. What happens if the CiviCRM contact exists but no Drupal user exists yet.  The person registers for a Drupal user account and uses something.else@gmail.com (as opposed to the primary email) contained in the CiviCRM Contact.  Will the Drupal user and CiviCRM still be linked?  ( I think so, but please confirm).

Appreciate the answer!
