User Name and Password Notifications
Users in all user categories get notified automatically of changes to their user accounts and passwords by default. These notifications are based on notification templates.
During setup, plan which notifications to use for each user category and disable any that aren't needed. Many templates are predefined, but you can also create templates for a user category.
Predefined Notification Templates
This table describes the predefined notification templates. Each template is associated with a predefined event. For example, the Password Reset Template is associated with the password reset event. You can see these notification templates and their associated events on the User Category: Notifications page of the Security Console for a user category.
| Notification Template | Description |
|---|---|
| Password Expiry Warning Template | Warns the user that a password is expiring soon and provides instructions for resetting the password. |
| Password Expiration Template | Notifies the user that a password has expired and provides instructions for resetting the password. |
| Forgot User Name Template | Sends the user name to a user who requested the reminder. |
| Password Generated Template | Notifies the user that a password has been generated automatically or manually changed, and provides instructions for resetting the password. |
| Password Reset Template | Sends a reset-password link to a user who requested a new
password. Users can request new passwords by selecting the Forgot Password link on the application Sign In page, or by selecting the Password option on the Preferences page. To navigate to the Preferences page, click your user image or name in the global header to open the Settings and Actions menu, then select the Set Preferences option. |
| Password Reset Confirmation Template | Notifies the user when a password has been reset. |
| New Account Template | Notifies a user when a user account is created and provides a reset-password link. |
| New Account Manager Template | Notifies the user's manager when a user account is created. |
When you create a user category, it's associated automatically with the predefined notification templates, which are all enabled.
You can't edit the predefined templates but you can create templates and disable the predefined versions. Each predefined event can be associated with only one enabled notification template at a time.
