Notifications
Notification settings allow you to control how OX communicates operational and security-related events to your organization.
OX supports the following types of notifications:
Personal notifications, which each user manages individually
Organization notifications, which administrators manage for the entire organization
You can use notifications to monitor scan failures, expired credentials, expiring exclusions, and organization activity summaries.
The main parts of the Notification Settings page are:
My Notifications: Personal notifications managed by each user
System Notifications: Organization-level notifications managed by administrators
My Notifications
The My Notifications section contains personal notifications that each user can manage independently.
You can enable Weekly Digest to receive by email a weekly summary of activity in your organization.
This notification is available to all users, including non-admin users.
System Notifications
The System Notifications section allows administrators to configure organization-wide notifications for operational and security events.
Administrators can:
Enable or disable notifications
Configure email notifications
Configure Slack notifications
Select notification recipients
Notification recipients
For each notification type, administrators can configure recipients separately for email and slack notifications.
Recipient selectors support:
Individual users
User groups
Administrative groups
Recipients are managed centrally by administrators. Users cannot remove themselves from administrator-configured notifications.
