All of the settings on "Preferences" are per-user. So only the user who is signed in at the time the box was checked would receive the email.

This allows users to opt-in to heartbeat failure alerts without necessarily creating an Event Subscription for individual users. Only secrets the user has view access to would receive the alert.

If you wanted alerts to go out to many people or a group of people, then you would use the Event Subscriptions.]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:24:40 GMT http://www.thycotic.com/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=428 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:20:19 GMT http://www.thycotic.com/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=428
"On the Preference page, the Send email alerts when Heartbeat fails for Secrets setting can be enabled to email the user when Heartbeat fails for any Secret he has View access to."

Is this saying that ALL users who have view access to a secret which has heartbeats turned on and alerts on failures enabled under the personalization tab will receive an alert?

The reason I ask is this appears a bit confusing since you can create an event subscription specific to all heartbeat failures.

If I only want a certain group of people to receive alerts on heartbeat failures, such as a security team, how do I only notify that group of individuals? From the documentation it appears anyone who has view permissions to the scecret would receive the alert.

Thank you
