About notifications

Notifications alert you when events have taken place in Passfort that may need your attention.

A notification may be sent just to you, to all members of your team, or to everyone with the appropriate role in Passfort, depending on the type of event. For example:

  • Profile newly assigned to me: A notification is sent to you alone.

  • Profile newly assigned to my team: A notification is sent to all members of the assigned team.

  • Unassigned application is nearing expiry: A notification is sent to all users who have permission to view the product application. See Create, edit, and delete roles.

How notifications are received

There are two ways to receive your notifications:

  • In the Passfort portal: You can access notifications from the notifications pane and the All notifications screen. See View notifications.

  • As an email: Email notifications are sent to the email address that you use to log in to Passfort. Email notifications are sent from info@passfort.com.

    Select the button link in the email to open the appropriate screen in the Passfort portal.
