I want to enable mod role without allowing email address access. I also want to give select users mod role/regular role (non-admin) where those users can see email address in user profiles. How can I achieve this? Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

The discussion revolves around creating two types of mod roles with different sets of permissions. hmmmnotsure wants to enable a mod role without allowing email address access, while also giving select users a role to see email addresses in user profiles. ondrej suggests looking at Trust Level 4 or category moderators, but notes that these roles don’t allow seeing emails. hmmmnotsure confirms this and seeks a non-admin role that can access email addresses. Moin proposes creating a data explorer query to grant permission to a group of users to see email addresses, but hmmmnotsure is looking for a more straightforward solution to give a specific group of users access to email addresses without moderator access, which can potentially be achieved through data explorer.
I don’t think there is an option for Trust Level 4 users to see email addresses. I’m not sure how to create a role, that’s non-admin, that can be allowed to see email address. I don’t want the mods to see email address. But I would like a specific group of users to.
You could create a data explorer query that returns the email address of a user and grant the permission to execute that for a group of users. But I told you that 6 months ago, so obviously this isn’t what you are looking for.
Appreciate your response.
So the ask is to give permissions to one group of users, who can open any profile and look at the email address. These are users who would monitor feedback, troubleshoot issues and push fixes. They need not have moderator access. They just need access to email address of all profiles. This can be achieved? Through data explorer? And category moderators don’t have option to see email address.
