Manage email display

Who can use this feature?

• Workspace Owners/Admins and Org Owners/Admins
• Available on all plans

By default, members’ email addresses are displayed in their Slack profiles, which are visible to their organization and any organizations they're sharing channels with. If they’d like, owners and admins can adjust this setting to display email addresses only to members of their organization, or to no one at all.

Tip: When email addresses are displayed, you can search for people you work with by their emails in Slack.
