We used a very old community platform before insided, but one of the advantages it has was to show a mouse-over tooltip of the users email address when you were logged in as an administrator.

That was super helpful to know for our B2B community where the email domain could quickly tell us the customer/business. That saves a click and a bunch of time rather than having to go into the profile every time.

@andre.gerard Curious if this is an idea you’d be interested in based on our conversation from earlier today? Just a thought!

Just dropping some thoughts with my security hat on. Making this available on the front-end could be a security or privacy risk if the page source happens to expose everyone’s email addresses and just hides it with CSS or similar.

It’s a cool feature though, as long as it doesn’t leak too much. :)

This makes total sense to me, but as @Blastoise186 says: it’s a privacy risk.

Should probably only be added for moderators.
