Current setup:

Site is locked down for members to be invited or request access.  
We don’t want people changing their own email address, so the related email change site-setting is disabled. Of course, sometimes an admin must.

###Expectation:  
go to the user’s admin page, see the email, and edit it, potentially have that pending confirmation of the new email. ☀

###Actual

- visit the admin page

- click a button to see what it is.

- there’s no way to edit it

- Click `Show Public Profile`,

- realize you have to click Preferences too.

- No way to edit the email address… grrr

- Go back to admin

- disable the site setting

- go back to publich profile/preferences

- edit

- go back to admin

- disable the site setting.

As an admin, can we please just edit a user’s address at all times, from the Admin page?

extra brownie points from this customer if @techAPJ could [allow the name to be edited](https://meta.discourse.org/t/wish-i-could-edit-a-users-full-name-from-admin/26506/2) while he’s there.

Please?
