Voting on behalf of your users lets you manually link users to specific posts as authors or upvoters. This helps you track the number of interested users and also ensures they're kept informed with relevant notifications.

This is useful if you’ve gotten feedback from other channels like email, for example. You can simply create the post in Featurebase and add the user as the author. And if others request that feature, you can add them as upvoters. This way, they'll get notified about the updates to their request.
