CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi

I'm working with an organisation who have lots of clients with the same email address (but who all need a Drupal login). In many cases this is an email address shared across a family.

The Drupal shared email module (http://drupal.org/project/sharedemail) does what they need but it doesn't appear to be comptaible with Civi. When I enable the module, configure and test  (create a Drupal user where the email address already exists) the following error is given. The Drupal user is created but the Civi contact isn't. Is it possible to turn off Civi's requirement for unique emails? I've alredy changed the default individual static duplicate checking rules so email isn't part of the check.

"Database Error Code: Duplicate entry 'gibsonoliver@hotmail.com-1' for key 2, 1062

Ok thanks Lobo, that makes perfect sense.
