If you are the admin you should be able to look at the 'prefs' page of any 
user and make changes. It would be nice when setting up new users to be able 
to set default prefs for a user.

confirming feature request.  could swear this was a dupe, but I sure can't find
the original if so...

I would sure love to see this. 

My mail logs are full of bounces from users with changes addresses, and the only
way to fix is at the DB console. Even a "disable mail for this user" option
would help.

Reassigning bugs that I'm not actively working on to the default component owner
in order to try to make some sanity out of my personal buglist.  This doesn't
mean the bug isn't being dealt with, just that I'm not the one doing it.  If you
are dealing with this bug, please assign it to yourself.

You can now use a sudo session (implemented in 2.21.1+) to do that.
