The VERIFIED_NAME_FLAG, the VerifiedNameEnabledView, and the verified_name_enabled key removed from responses for both VerifiedNameView view and VerifiedNameHistoryView
were removed as part https://github.com/edx/edx-name-affirmation/pull/12. This was released in version 2.0.0 of the edx-name-affirmation PyPI package. Please see below for additional context for the removal, copied from the name-affirmation commit message.
The VERIFIED_NAME_FLAG was added as part https://github.com/edx/edx-name-affirmation/pull/12, [MST-801](https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/MST-801) in order to control the release of the Verified Name project. It was used for a phased roll out by percentage of users.
The release reached a percentage of 50% before it was observed that, due to the way percentage roll out works in django-waffle, the code to create or update VerifiedName records was not working properly. The code was written such that any change to a SoftwareSecurePhotoVerification model instance sent a signal, which was received and handled by the Name Affirmation application. If the VERIFIED_NAME_FLAG was on for the requesting user, a Celery task was launched from the Name Affirmation application to perform the creation of or update to the appropriate VerifiedName model instances based on the verify_student application signal. However, we observed that when SoftwareSecurePhotoVerification records were moved into the "created" or "ready" status, a Celery task in Name Affirmation was created, but when SoftwareSecurePhotoVerification records were moved into the "submitted" status, the corresponding Celery task in Name Affirmation was not created. This caused VerifiedName records to stay in the "pending" state.
The django-waffle waffle flag used by the edx-toggle library implements percentage rollout by setting a cookie in a learner's browser session to assign them to the enabled or disabled group.
It turns out that the code that submits a SoftwareSecurePhotoVerification record, which moves it into the "submitted" state, happens as part of a Celery task in the verify_student application in the edx-platform. Therefore, we believe that because there is no request object in a Celery task, the edx-toggle code is defaulting to the case where there is no request object. In this case, the code checks whether the flag is enabled for everyone when determining whether the flag is enabled. Because of the percentage rollout (i.e. waffle flag not enabled for everyone), the Celery task in Name Affirmation is not created. This behavior was confirmed by logging added as part of https://github.com/edx/edx-name-affirmation/pull/62.
We have determined that we do not need the waffle flag, as we are comfortable that enabling the waffle flag for everyone will fix the issue and are comfortable releasing the feature to all users. For this reason, we are removing references to the flag.
[MST-1130](https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/MST-1130)
Split modulestore persists data in three MongoDB "collections": course_index (list of courses and the current version of each), structure (outline of the courses, and some XBlock fields), and definition (other XBlock fields). While "structure" and "definition" data can get very large, which is one of the reasons MongoDB was chosen for modulestore, the course index data is very small.
This commit starts writing course indexes (active_versions) to both MySQL and Mongo, but continues to read from MongoDB only.
By moving course index data to MySQL / a django model, we get these advantages:
* Full history of changes to the course index data is now preserved
* Includes a django admin view to inspect the list of courses and libraries
* It's much easier to "reset" a corrupted course to a known working state, by using the simple-history revert tools from the django admin.
* The remaining MongoDB collections (structure and definition) are essentially just used as key-value stores of large JSON data structures. This paves the way for future changes that allow migrating courses one at a time from MongoDB to S3, and thus eliminating any use of MongoDB by split modulestore, simplifying the stack.

MST-970. If name affirmation is enabled, a user should only be allowed to make limited edits to their profile name before they are required to go through IDV. Right now, the allowable edits are limited to:
* add/delete/replace one character (including one space on either side)
Edits that are not allowed, and therefore require IDV include:
* changing 2 or more characters
* changing their name 3 or more times
This behavior will not be enabled until name affirmation is fully rolled out, so there should be no noticeable difference in account settings behavior at the time this is merged.
- Removed manage_user and manage_group commands and their unit tests from edx-platform and added then to edx-django-utils.
- Modified User.post_save signal to ensure the user profile is created when manage_user management command is run to create a user.
- Added edx-django-utils to INSTALLED_APPS for LMS and Studio.
- Moved generate_password from openedx.core.djangoapps.user_authn.utils to edx_django_utils.user along with its unit test.
This commit refactors the way the Account MFE is activated in the
platform. The main objective is to control the global
activation/deactivation of the MFE through the
account.redirect_to_microfrontend waffle flag and use the Site
Configurations to control MFE activation/deactivation with per-site
granularity. Notice that the Site Configuration object will have
precedence over the waffle flag value.
Since the classic Account Django view will be most likely supported
during Lilac, the expiration of this temporary waffle flag was
extended till the end of 2021
With this commit:
- There's no need to create a Site Configuration object to get the MFE
activated. Setting the waffle flag to True is enough.
- It helps multisite installations to better handling granular
per-site activation/deactivation.
BREAKING CHANGE:
For operators of multisite installations, the activation of the waffle
flag will now activate the MFE for all sites, unless explicitly
disabled on a per-site basis.
Otherwise, this is a backwards-compatible change, since the MFE will
remain activated for installations where this is already enabled.
As part of authn redesign, validation messages have been updated.
- created a new endpoint for validations
- updated username/email conflict message in registration api based on
authn check

This adds a new django app to allow the GDPR user retirement via
Open edX's REST API. Prior to this the only way to trigger the user
retirement was either by the user themself clicking "Delete my account"
in the account setting page or via creating a User Retirement request
by admin. With these changes, the user retirement process can be
triggered using REST API.
