+Feature: OAuth2 email verification
+  In order to make sure administrators understand the ramifications of email verification
+  As an administrator
+  I should see email verifications notifications when configuring an Oauth2 provider.
+
+  Background:
+    Given I log in as "admin"
+    And I change window size to "large"
+    And I navigate to "Server > OAuth 2 services" in site administration
+
+  Scenario: Create, edit and delete standard service for Google toggling email verification.
+    Given I press "Google"
+    And I should see "Create new service: Google"
+    And I set the following fields to these values:
+      | Name                       | Testing service                           |
+      | Client ID                  | thisistheclientid                         |
+      | Client secret              | supersecret                               |
+    Then I should not see "I understand that disabling email verification can be a security issue"
+    And I click on "Require email verification" "checkbox"
+    And I should see "I understand that disabling email verification can be a security issue"
+    And I click on "I understand that disabling email verification can be a security issue" "checkbox"
+    And I press "Save changes"
+    And I should see "Changes saved"
+    And I click on "Edit" "link" in the "Testing service" "table_row"
+    And I press "Save changes"
+    And I should see "Required"
+    And I click on "Require email verification" "checkbox"
+    And I press "Save changes"
+    And I should see "Changes saved"
