      1. Login as primary site admin.
      2. Go to /admin/settings.php?section=supportcontact (Site administration ► Server ► Support contact).
      3. Check the default values for the support name and email. Confirm that:
        • The default support name should be the primary admin's full name.
        • The default support email should be the primary admin's email.
      4. Create a second user.
      5. Give this user site admin permissions. (Site administration ► Users ► Permissions ► Site administrators)
      6. Log in as this user, go to /admin/settings.php?section=supportcontact (Site administration ► Server ► Support contact).
      7. Check the default values for the support name and email. Confirm that:
        • The default support name should be the primary admin's full name.
        • The default support email should be the primary admin's email.
      8. Send any email which uses the support email eg a new user account, confirm it uses the first primary admin email

      Login as primary site admin. Go to /admin/settings.php?section=supportcontact (Site administration ► Server ► Support contact). Check the default values for the support name and email. Confirm that: The default support name should be the primary admin's full name. The default support email should be the primary admin's email. Create a second user. Give this user site admin permissions. (Site administration ► Users ► Permissions ► Site administrators) Log in as this user, go to /admin/settings.php?section=supportcontact (Site administration ► Server ► Support contact). Check the default values for the support name and email. Confirm that: The default support name should be the primary admin's full name. The default support email should be the primary admin's email. Send any email which uses the support email eg a new user account, confirm it uses the first primary admin email

      In the settings page it shows the default email of the admin user you are logged in as, where as in reality when the email is actually sent and it's missing, it defaults to the first admin users email. If you only have one admin user then these happen to be the same, which is why the issue has probably been masked for so long.

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Login as primary site admin.
      2. Create a second user.
      3. Give this user site admin permissions. (Site administration ► Users ► Permissions ► Site administrators)
      4. Log in as this user, go to /admin/settings.php?section=supportcontact (Site administration ► Server ► Support contact).
      5. Check the default values for the support name and email.
        • Expected:
          • The default support name should be the primary admin's full name.
          • The default support email should be the primary admin's email.
        • Actual:
          • The default support name is shown as the other admin's full name.
          • The default support name is shown as the other admin's email.
