## Descrição

Restrict WordPress user accounts to administrator-approved email domains.

Page Authority – Allowed Domains gives administrators a simple way to control which
email domains are permitted when WordPress user accounts are created. When the allowlist
is set, any attempt to create a user with an email outside the approved domains 
is blocked across the standard registration form, the REST API, and WooCommerce 
registration.

It is designed for sites where only users from specific organizations, companies,
clients, or teams should be added as WordPress users. Typical use cases include 
internal company portals where only staff email addresses should ever become accounts,
agency-managed client sites that should reject public signups, membership or B2B
sites that vet users by their email domain, and multisite networks that need consistent
domain rules across sites.

Existing users are never modified automatically. Instead, the Existing User Audit
highlights accounts whose email domains are not on the allowlist so an administrator
can review and act on them individually, including removing an account and reassigning
its content.

Features include:

 * Admin-managed allowed domain list
 * Standard WordPress registration enforcement
 * REST API user creation/update enforcement
 * WooCommerce registration enforcement
 * Existing User Audit tools
 * Optional login enforcement
 * Per-user unauthorized account removal with content reassignment
 * Multisite-aware protections
 * Lightweight architecture with no custom database tables

### Security Notes

The plugin includes:

 * Capability checks
 * Nonce verification (verified before any state-changing logic runs)
 * Sanitization and escaping
 * Live revalidation before destructive actions
 * Current-admin protection
 * Multisite Super Admin protection
 * Explicit content reassignment or delete confirmation before user removal

Recommended operational practices:

 * Review the Existing User Audit before enabling login blocking
 * Test custom registration and SSO flows before production rollout
 * Maintain regular database backups before deleting users
 * Restrict plugin management access to trusted administrators only

### Uninstall

Deleting the plugin removes its current options:

 * `pageauth_allowed_domains`
 * `pageauth_audit_log`
 * `pageauth_block_unauthorized_logins`

It also cleans up internal flags, transients, user meta, and any leftover keys from
prior plugin versions that used the `paad_` or `aed_` prefixes. On multisite, the
matching network options are removed as well.

## Instalação

 1. Upload the zip file to `wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate **Page Authority – Allowed Domains** in WordPress Admin
 3. Go to **Users > Allowed Domains**
 4. Add approved domains, one per line

## Perguntas frequentes

### What format should allowed domains use?

Enter one domain per line, with or without the leading `@`. Both `example.com` and`@
example.com` work the same way.

Example:

    ```
    example.com
    company.org
    agency.net
    ```

### What happens if the allowlist is empty?

If the allowlist is empty, all email domains are allowed.

### Does this affect existing users?

Existing users are not automatically disabled, deleted, modified, or logged out.

The Existing User Audit identifies existing users whose email domains are not currently
allowed. Administrators can review those users individually.

### Can unauthorized users be deleted?

Yes. The audit table includes per-user delete actions for unauthorized users.

When a user owns posts or pages, a confirmation modal appears with a dropdown of
compliant users (those whose email is on the allowlist) for content reassignment.
Administrators can also choose to delete the user and all their content.

Deletion actions are protected by nonce verification, capability checks, confirmation
prompts, current-admin protection, multisite Super Admin protection, and a server-
side failsafe that refuses to silently delete a user’s content.

### Can users with unauthorized domains be blocked from logging in?

Yes. Optional login enforcement can be enabled after reviewing the Existing User
Audit.

Login enforcement is disabled by default to avoid accidental lockouts.

### Does this plugin create custom database tables?

No. The plugin stores settings using WordPress options and does not create custom
database tables.

## Registro de alterações

#### 2.0.2

 * Improvement: replaced the post-activation redirect with a dismissible welcome
   notice. The old redirect could open in a new browser tab in some activation flows;
   the notice is more reliable and less disruptive
 * Feature: the “domain not approved” error on the Add/Edit User screen now includes
   an “Allow this domain” button that adds the domain to the allowlist instantly,
   without reloading the page or losing the details you already entered
 * Listing: added a Plugin URI header so the plugin’s WordPress.org page is linked
   from the in-admin plugin details
 * Listing: rewrote the readme Description so the in-admin “View Details” Description
   tab renders correctly, and refreshed it with clearer use cases
 * Housekeeping: updated remaining references to the plugin’s former name, aligned
   the FAQ with the “with or without @” domain input, and removed a stray period
   from the author name

#### 2.0.1

 * Compatibility: confirmed compatibility with WordPress 7.0, updated “Tested up
   to” accordingly
 * Feature: added a “Support” link next to the existing “GitHub” link on the Plugins
   screen, pointing to the plugin’s WordPress.org support forum
 * UX: the domain input on the settings page no longer implies the @ prefix is required.
   Placeholder and description now indicate that domains can be entered with or 
   without the leading @. Validation behavior is unchanged
 * Hardening: AJAX-driven user creation requests with an unauthorized email domain
   now receive a structured JSON error response (HTTP 403 with pageauth_invalid_domain
   code) instead of a full-page wp_die(), so third-party plugins that create users
   via admin-ajax can surface the error inline

#### 2.0.0

 * Compliance: renamed internal prefix from `paad_` (4 characters) to `pageauth_`(
   8 characters) across functions, constants, options, transients, user meta, nonces,
   AJAX actions, hooks, page slug, CSS classes, HTML IDs, and JavaScript data attributes.
   The new prefix is unique, brand-aligned, and far less likely to collide with 
   any other plugin
 * Migration: existing allowlist, audit log, and login-blocking preference are migrated
   transparently on upgrade from either prior prefix (`paad_` from 1.9.1 or `aed_`
   from 1.9.0 and earlier)
 * Compatibility: both legacy settings URLs (`users.php?page=aed-settings` and `
   users.php?page=paad-settings`) now redirect to the current `pageauth-settings`
   slug
 * Cleanup: `uninstall.php` removes both the current and all legacy option, transient,
   and user-meta keys, so removal is clean regardless of which version was last 
   installed

#### 1.9.1

 * Compliance: renamed internal prefix from `aed_` (3 characters) to `paad_` (4 
   characters) across functions, constants, options, transients, nonces, AJAX actions,
   page slug, CSS classes, and HTML IDs to meet WordPress.org Plugin Directory naming
   requirements.
 * Migration: existing allowlist, audit log, and login-blocking preference are migrated
   transparently on upgrade.
 * Compatibility: legacy `users.php?page=aed-settings` URL now redirects to the 
   new `paad-settings` slug.
 * Cleanup: rewrote `uninstall.php` to actually remove the options the plugin stores(
   the previous file targeted a key prefix that was never written), and added cleanup
   for legacy `aed_*` keys.

#### 1.9.0

 * Security: nonce verification now runs before capability checks and before any
   input processing in the audit-domain-add and user-delete handlers
 * Security: programmatic user creation in admin context (admin-ajax, importers,
   REST in admin) is no longer silently allowed; only the user-edit/user-new screens
   defer to the inline error path
 * Performance: existing-user audit query is paginated to avoid loading every user
   into memory on large sites
 * Feature: deleting an unauthorized user who owns posts or pages now opens a confirmation
   modal with a dropdown of compliant users for content reassignment, or an explicit“
   delete content” option
 * Feature: success notice when a domain is added directly from the audit
 * Feature: clearer error notices for delete failures (missing user, current user,
   super admin, allowed-now, content-without-confirmation, invalid reassignment 
   target)
 * Hardening: server-side failsafe refuses to delete a user with owned content unless
   reassignment or explicit content-delete is specified
 * Hardening: reassignment target is revalidated as a real, compliant user before
   deletion proceeds
 * Cleanup: removed dead query-parameter handling, consistent input handling throughout
