- Select a minimum severity threshold to help control how many alerts your users are receiving.
- Next, select 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.
