## Description

**As** an OpenProject user  
**I want** my email address to be hidden by default  
**so that** I don’t receive unwanted notifications.

**Acceptance criteria**

  - When creating a new user (Administration \> Users \> New user) check option “Hide my email address” by default.
  - When using self-registration plugin (such as on community.openproject.org) option “Hide my email address” is set by default.
  - Any other way to add / invite user (e.g. 2 person registration) should have the option “Hide my email address” set by default.
  - The user can still change his / her setting in “My account”
  - The option “Hide my email address” is not displayed in additional places compared to the previous behavior.

**Additional information**

  - Based on input in [forum message](https://community.openproject.org/topics/4796?r=4796#message-4796)
