XF 1.5 How can moderators view e-mail addresses?

[XnForFanKN]

What is the best way to give moderators the ability to view users' e-mail addresses, without giving them too many other options?

Also, what is the best way to give a specific moderator that ability?

Thank you for your help!

The ability for moderators to see email addresses was removed in a recent update, triggered by concerns about GDPR.

Fixed - Moderators can access user email addresses via spam cleaner (GDPR legal issue)

I know this is as original designed - moderators have always been able to access user email addresses via the spam cleaner, but in a post-GDPR world, I'm not sure this is the best policy anymore. While this is kind of a suggestion, I do feel that this is serious enough to warrant a "bug report"...

Only administrators can view email addresses in the latest versions.

That's what I was afraid of, based on everything I was reading. I was hoping I could give them the

• Edit basic user profiles

permission and that would solve it, but it appears that doesn't include the e-mail address.

If I need to make a moderator an admin in order for them to see e-mail addresses, which admin permissions would they need? Would it be:

• Manage users and moderators

?

We are using Xenforo 1.5.21 right now on the site I'm referring to.

Thank you for your help.

Yes, that is the permission they would need.
