Hello 🙂

As far as I’m aware, the only way to make someone an admin in a Discourse Community is by going to their profile \> admin \> admin (toggle yes).

My issue is I’m not being able to add new admins, since an email to approve this change is required and I’m not receiving any emails (“We’ve sent you an email to verify the new administrator. Please open it and follow the instructions.”). I assume the previous person managing the community is getting them but their work email has been deactivated.

Is there any way I can either see who’s getting these emails, or is there another way to make users admins?

Thank you in advance, much appreciated.
