# Restrict visibility of email addresses
email visibility: Enable feature and add user documentation.

By default, any user can find and view the email address of any other
settings: Add EMAIL_ADDRESS_VISIBILITY_NOBODY. This extends our email address visibility settings to deny access to user email addresses even to organization administrators. At the moment, they can of course change the setting (which leaves an audit trail), but in the future only organization owners will be able to change that setting. While we're at this, we rewrite the settings_data.js test to cover all the cases in a more consistent way. Fixes #14111.

## Caveats
user docs: Update restrict-visibility-of-email-addresses. That we are working to fix the caveats is implied by the (beta) label. More generally, for /help articles, explanations, apologies, etc can go in a section at the top, but the rest of the text should be a straightforward description of the current state.
