I’d like to see actions similar to what’s currently available for Screened IPs on both Screened Emails and Screened URLs

Screened URLs have no effect at the moment (informational only) so not urgent.

Can I get a bit of clarification? As I have the ability to unblock IPs as Staff/Moderator, I would think unblocking emails would be similar. Did you simply use the same permission level that is used for IPs or did you actually limit it to admins?

From the PR, it seems it would allow both Staff and Admins (which is great!).

Yup, the route is under a `StaffConstraint`, not an `AdminConstraint`.
