Description Christopher Brannon 2015-05-18 16:12:16 UTC
Koha should send an e-mail to a patron's e-mail account (and optionally print) if changes are made to a patron's account, such as patron change request, updates to contact info, etc.  Not necessarily everything, like internal notes, should alert the patron.  No personal info should be included in the notice.  It should simply state if the account has been successfully updated, or if the account has been renewed (and for how long), etc, and direct the patron to login to the catalog to see the updated information.

8 years later, this is still an important need.  I was just thinking the other day, it would be good if the patron was notified if their password was changed.

When the password is changed we have PASSWORD_CHANGE now.
Comment 3 Christopher Brannon 2024-01-19 15:51:03 UTC
This is the first I've heard of this notice and NotifyPasswordChange.  When was this added?

Regardless, we need to expand on this to include other important changes to the account.

22.11: Bug 25936 - Notify users if their password has changed

I just wanted to update on the second point, a notice for other data makes sense as well.
