Topic: Change superuser email

view this post on Zulip Carlos Perez-Miguel (Mar 06 2026 at 13:30):

Hi,
For the last year, we have used an email address for the dataverseAdmin user of our instance. Now we need to change it. If I do it on the dashboard it only change the email on the dashboard but the automatic emails sent by the instance are still sent using the old email address.

Is there any way, using the API or modifying the DB, to make this change?

I have found this issue mentioning something related.

Thank you!

The "from" address for system emails is configured by https://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/installation/config.html#dataverse-mail-system-email, not the admin user email address.

Any emails on user objects are only used for the "to" part of any email sent by Dataverse.
