Contact Information - Email address

[Milly Mikkelsen]

With the contact information box which shows the email address of that user in their profile, it states that only staff can see this. Is it possible to change so that a member can see the email address on profiles?

Allowing regular users to see email addresses is not only a PII concern but can open you up to malicious attacks and spam to the user. 

You could theoretically make your base member group a moderator in ACP -> Members -> Staff -> Moderators with no moderator permissions and that should do it. However, again, it is not something which is at all recommended and you would be taking a lot of risks on by doing so.

K got it, yeah that makes sense that its not really a good idea at all.
