  We’re trying to set up email forwarding but we are finding it only works for users with admin privileges.

  Users with other roles receive the email asking them to confirm the email address but when they log in are told they haven’t got the necessary privileges.

  Is it meant to be so restrictive?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Have you read the email notifications and user roles sections?

  I don’t have an answer for you and I’ll tag this thread for a Staff response. Another Volunteer may answer prior to Staff but I tagged the thread so it will not fall through the cracks and escape attention. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  Hi there,

  If you’re trying to set up email forwarding for someone who isn’t an administrator on your site, please ask them to forward you the confirmation email so you can confirm it for them. (Currently, only site administrators can do that confirmation step.)
