Admin updating customer email address

[pepijn-vanvlaanderen]

Currently it is not possible throught the Medusa Admin to update the user email address. It seems to be blocked when a user has an account. The error thrown in the handler for the update customer admin route:

if (validatedBody.email && customer.has_account) {
   throw new MedusaError(
     MedusaError.Types.INVALID_DATA,
     "Email cannot be changed when the user has registered their account"
   )
 }

What is the reason behind this error? It seems to be a valid action that an administrator could be able to update any customer' email address. If the email became obsolete or a user lost access for some reason to that email account, you will need to manually change it through the database.
