Yes, the screenshot I took was from impersonating a mod.

We have a similar setup as the link you provided ([Moderators ability to see emails inconsistent](https://meta.discourse.org/t/moderators-ability-to-see-emails-inconsistent/33402)).

I’m not requesting the Discourse team makes any changes though, this isn’t an issue with Discourse.

I am trying customize Discourse for our situation. I was hoping that using a plugin outlet and referencing the files within that plugin was the right way to overwrite a template in Discourse. I just wasn’t able to successfully overwrite these files:

`/users-list-show.hbs`  
`/users-list.hbs`

My changes never showed up. So I thought this plugin outlet topic could help
