Purpose

The profile dropdown only shows initials, never the user's OIDC profile picture (Zitadel/Keycloak). This ports the same approach already implemented on drive's and mail's profile-picture branches to docs.

image

Proposal

  • Request the profile scope in addition to openid email, so the OIDC userinfo response includes a picture claim.
  • Add a picture field on User, populated from that claim on login (only when it's actually a string — defensive against a misbehaving provider).
  • Expose picture read-only on UserSerializer.
  • Render the picture in the header's UserMenu as a CSS background-image custom property on <html> — ui-kit's UserMenu/ UserAvatar (docs is pinned to 0.23.2) has no picture prop, and its dropdown content is portalled out of the React tree, so a custom property bridges the value through the real DOM instead. Preloaded via Image() so an unreachable/expired picture URL falls back to the initials instead of an empty circle, and the picture URL is escaped before being interpolated into the CSS url() value.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for profile pictures from OIDC identity providers.
    • User profiles and current-user responses now include an optional profile-picture URL.
    • User menu avatars display the profile picture when available, with initials shown as a fallback.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Profile pictures are cleared when unavailable or unable to load, preventing stale images from appearing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds OIDC profile-picture scope support, stores the picture URL on users, exposes it through the current-user API, and renders it in the frontend user menu after successful image loading.

Changes

Profile picture support

Layer / File(s) Summary
OIDC claim and user storage
env.d/development/common, env.d/production.dist/backend, src/backend/impress/settings.py, src/backend/core/authentication/backends.py, src/backend/core/models.py, src/backend/core/migrations/0033_user_picture.py
OIDC scopes now include profile. Authentication claims preserve string picture values. The User model and migration add an optional 500-character picture URL field.
User API exposure and validation
src/backend/core/api/serializers.py, src/backend/core/tests/test_api_users.py
UserSerializer exposes picture as read-only. Current-user API tests cover populated and empty picture values.
Frontend profile-picture rendering
src/frontend/apps/impress/src/features/auth/api/types.ts, src/frontend/apps/impress/src/features/header/components/Header.tsx, src/frontend/apps/impress/src/pages/globals.css
The frontend user type includes picture. The header preloads the image and updates document state only after success. CSS displays the image and hides initials when available.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to 86990

This change persists OIDC profile-picture URLs and uses them for avatar rendering. Invalid or oversized claims can break login or user updates, and deployment content policies may leave users without either an image or initials. The PR is not merge-ready until the persistence path is defensive and the fallback behavior is safe.

446-463: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make the test fixtures explicit for both picture states.

Both assertions copy user.picture from the fixture. Neither test sets a picture value. Unless factories.UserFactory supplies a non-null default, these tests do not prove that a populated picture is serialized. Set a concrete URL in one test and None in the other.

Proposed test fixture update
-    user = factories.UserFactory()
+    user = factories.UserFactory(
+        picture="https://idp.example/avatar.png",
+    )
...
     user = factories.UserFactory(
         email="test_foo@test.com",
         full_name=None,
         short_name=None,
+        picture=None,
     )

81-95: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial

Verify CSP compatibility before relying on the CSS variable.

If the effective CSP does not allow the provider image origin or the style mutation, Image() will fail or setProperty() will not apply. The supplied src/backend/impress/settings.py defaults img-src and style-src to NONE. If the image loads but the style mutation is blocked, Line 85 still adds data-has-profile-picture, so the CSS hides initials while no background image is available. Check the deployed CSP and keep the data attribute unset unless the CSS value is applied.

Comment thread src/backend/core/authentication/backends.py Outdated
Show the user's OIDC picture in the comment composer avatar, falling
back to initials when it is unset or fails to load, matching the
header avatar's behavior. Escape the URL before injecting it into a
CSS url() to prevent CSS injection, restrict the OIDC picture claim
to http/https URLs, and derive the max length from the model field
instead of duplicating it.
update_user_if_needed only applies truthy claim values, so a picture
that becomes null/invalid on a later login was never cleared and kept
rendering indefinitely. Clear it explicitly when the claim key is
present but null.
