# Restrict visibility of email addresses (beta)
|

|
By default, any user can find and view the email address of any other
|
|
|
|
|
user. Organization administrators can restrict access so that only admins
|
|
|
|
|
can view other users' email addresses.

### Restrict visibility of email addresses
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|organization-permissions}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

## Caveats
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are a few places in the app where we show fake email addresses
|
2019-05-28 08:23:48 +02:00
|
|
|
(e.g. `Ada Starr <user1234@example.zulipchat.com>`) rather than just `Ada
|
2019-05-21 06:37:40 +02:00
|
|
|
Starr`. This might cause some confusion for users. The fake email
|
2019-05-28 08:23:48 +02:00
|
|
|
addresses do not work, and email sent to those addresses will bounce
|
|
|
|
|
(and we are actively updating the UI to remove these).
