About Notification Admin
Notification Admins are users authorized to receive admin notifications about key system events. They are responsible for staying informed about activities that impact asset availability, compliance, and planning.
Managing Notification Admins
-
Go to Settings → Notification Admins.

Use the Add User button to assign or the X button to revoke admin privileges.
Notification Admins also have the ability to turn email notifications on or off for all users across the system. This setting overrides individual user preferences — when turned off, no email notifications are sent to any user.
