Email notification can be configured at three different levels.
There are four types of email notifications.
Before Intelligence Central can start sending email notifications, the email notifications service must be enabled on the Intelligence Central server. In addition, the SMTP mail server must be configured. Both of these actions can be performed by a user with the Administrator role.
A user with the Administrator role can also subscribe/unsubscribe individual users to the email notification service.
