JCR account creation notification

security administration

Download (2.0.0)

Sends an email notification whenever a JCR user account (jnt:user) is created under /users. Uses the mail service already configured in Jahia, with fully customisable subject and body templates. Bulk imports are excluded — only interactive user creations trigger the notification.

Query

query {
    jcrAccountCreationNotificationSettings {
        recipient   # String (null = Jahia default)
        sender      # String (null = Jahia default)
        subject
        body
    }
}

Mutation

mutation {
    jcrAccountCreationNotificationSaveSettings(
        recipient: "security@example.com"  # optional
        sender: "noreply@example.com"      # optional
        subject: "[{server}] New JCR account"
        body: "<p>User: {username} — created by {creator} at {time}</p>"
