Let users see their email address in their profile (and make it editable)

Yes please we really need this.

Some thoughts on this:

• if notifications bounce, maybe there could be a prompt for people to change their email address — a simple in-app notification would help. As would something when they next log into the community — a prompt to verify
• Another option, if notifications fail to send to an email, generate a report — maybe then we could lockout until email is updated at next login?

Hi! Any chance there is an update on the idea of seeing the email address in users own profile (so each user can see his or hers email address, but no-one else)? 

We use SSO so a lot of what is being discussed here is not possible for us - however since the OpenID identifier is exposed and editable for us, we can switch a customer back to their old profile with a new email address. Its an administrative pain but at least its possible - it still creates a hassle by having the customer create a new profile then we swap their OpenID identifier, but a good workaround if you have SSO enabled.

Hey we would also benefit from the implementation of this idea. We have a community that is made of active and former employees and thus former employees have no longer access to their professional email address. We would thus like to provide them with the opportunity to edit the email address that is linked to their account at any time.

We use a combination of SSO and local login. If a user has a professional email address linked to their profile, they will be able to connect through SSO, if their email address changes to something else they'll just be able to connect locally.

I would really like this feature as well… even though we just launched our community, I already know a few members that are switching jobs in the near future and they asked my if they can keep their existing account but just simply update their email address themselves. But as they don't see it, it's not that easy. 

Workaround that I now have set up is, that we have a KI in our resources that explains that if they want to switch their email address to a new one, they should just email out community team. But it's not really user friendly. 

Yeah same workaround.

I had worked on an automation in the past:

• Created a text field on user profiles that act as the email field visible to users
• Webhook triggered when that field changes
• API call to update the actual email field using the text entered in that text field

But I never implemented it because it missed:

• when an admin modifies the actual email field, there are no webhooks that are triggered to update the text field
• doesn't prevent users from misspelling their email address and thus updating the email field with a wrong email address

Thanks for sharing this idea. As of now will not be able to purpose this idea further due to other priorities. We will park this idea for now
