The email and contact settings that the user has access to via his/her Settings are available to you as an administrator in the Control Panel, thus overriding the user's settings. However, any changes made as an administrator can be changed again by the user.

To modify any profile fields (those shown on the user's profile), you must impersonate the user (if using Telligent Community 5.x) to edit his/her profile directly.
