Notification Profiles notification-profiles

Learn how to create user profiles in the Admin Console to manage receipt of important email notifications.

Overview overview

From time-to-time, Adobe contacts users regarding their AEM as a Cloud Service environments. In addition to in-product notifications, Adobe also occasionally uses email for notifications. There are two types of such email notification:

  • Incident Notification - These notifications are sent during an incident or when Adobe has identified a potential availability issue with your AEM as a Cloud Service environment.
  • Proactive Notification - These notifications are sent when an Adobe support team member wants to provide guidance on a potential optimization or recommendation that can benefit your AEM as a Cloud Service environment.

Users can also receive these notifications for specific programs based on their custom group permissions.

Additionally, assigning groups to proactive notification is supported and users and groups can be assigned to the product profiles directly.

  • Users in the incident and proactive notification groups will receive notifications for all programs by default.
  • However, if users do not want to receive all notifications, they can use custom READ permissions to specify which program notifications they wish to receive.

For the correct users to receive these notifications, you need to configure and assign user profiles as described in this document.

Prerequisites prerequisites

Because user profiles are created and maintained in the Admin Console, before creating profiles for notifications, you must:

  • Have permissions to add and profile memberships.
  • Have a valid Adobe Admin Console profile.

NOTE
It is important that the Cloud Manager product profile name is exactly the same as provided. Copy and paste the provided product profile name to avoid errors. Any deviations or typos will result in notifications not being sent as desired.
In case of error or if the profiles have not been defined, Adobe will default to notifying existing users assigned to the Cloud Manager Developer or Deployment Manager profiles.
