First, choose who you'd like to receive the alerts. You can choose to alert all Egnyte Secure and Govern Admins, all Egnyte Secure and Govern Users, or Selected recipients. The Selected recipients' option allows you to search for existing users or manually enter an email address. Also, more than one user or email can be selected. This feature is especially useful if you'd like the alerts to be sent to your ticketing system email, so tickets are automatically created whenever an alert needs to be reviewed.

Next, you'll decide what issue types to be alerted for. You can select All issue types or Selected issue types. If you choose Selected issue types, you'll check the box next to each issue you'd like to be notified for.

You'll also need to determine if the notifications should be sent out on new or new and updated issues and set a minimum severity threshold to help control how many alerts your users are receiving. Once all of these settings have been determined, click Save.

When setting alerts for Suspicious Login or Unusual Access, selecting new and updated is recommended. These are user-based events that will not create a new alert when a Suspicious Login or Unusual Access issue already exists for a user.
