Unlock or lock configuration of event notifications for all groups
If you are an Adobe Workfront administrator, you can unlock or re-lock the ability for group administrators to configure an event notification for top-level groups they manage. Configuration of an event notification consists of activating or deactivating it.
If there are any groups above the group you manage, their administrators can also do this for your group. The same is true for Workfront administrators (for any group).
When an administrator configures an event notification for a group, the configuration affects users for whom that group, or one of its subgroups, is their Home Group. In their user profiles, these users see the event notifications that are activated for their Home Group instead of the event notifications that are activated system-wide. For more information, see View and configure event notifications for a group.
- A Workfront administrator can unlock and re-lock configuration for an event notification in both Adobe Workfront Classic and the new Adobe Workfront experience. But a group administrator can configure that event notification for a group only in the new Adobe Workfront experience. Group administrators using Adobe Workfront Classic can switch to the new Adobe Workfront experience to configure unlocked event notifications for a group, then switch back to Adobe Workfront Classic to see the changes in effect.
- Subgroups inherit group-level event notification configurations from the top-level groups above them.
