I'm on 8.8.1 and the permission is not showing up. Did clear the cache multiple times. What am I doing wrong?

Any chance of creating a patch for 9.1?

I am on Drupal Core 9.2.2 and have enabled this option for all Authenticated Users (have also just left it for Admins) and we are not seeing the email address on the View User details page. Are there other required steps in order to see the email address? I was looking in the people configuration pages and was not seeing anything in there either that allows this to show. I must be missing something here.

Seems it was as easy as copying and putting the user.html.twig file into our theme template with the below:

...
{% if content %}
  {{- content -}}
  <strong>Email:</strong><br/>
  {{ user.mail.value }}
{% endif %}
...

I am assuming the new permission allows the email field to be accessible via the user data and does not make it display by default. Hope this helps someone else who had a brain fart this past week!

Thanks! I was also looking for it to be available in the UI. Editing the user twig seems like the way to go.
