Reached this point now too…
@pfaffman: you stated that it is possible to change the email address in the profile, but that needs email editable to be set, doesn’t it?
I learn that there is no way for an administrator or administrative API call to initiate a change of the email address unless users are allowed to change their email addresses as well, is there? I can definitely live with a confirmation email being sent and the change having to be authorized by the user.
My use case is that the users will be managed within some other app via the api. So, I don’t want them to change their email addresses by themselves, in discourse only.
