On my Discourse instance, I manually raise trust levels for users that have associated a social media profile, and who are using a home broadband IP (i.e. not a VPN).

As an **admin** I can see this data on the “user admin” page.

Unfortunately **moderators** cannot see the list of associate accounts.

I’d like moderators to be able to see associated accounts so they can make the same trust determination that I do.

Could this change be considered please?

Associated account information often includes email addresses, so visibility of it is tied to the `moderators view emails` site setting. If you enable that, then moderators should be able to see the associated accounts row in the admin panel:

This is when logged in as a moderator:

Thanks @david - that’s resolved my query perfectly!
