Configure Notification Settings

Notification settings for Oracle Access Governance can be managed in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console and Oracle Access Governance Console.

Oracle Access Governance will keep you informed of significant events occurring within your service instance via email notifications. Notifications are triggered by an event such as account creation, or are sent periodically, such as pending review tasks which are sent daily. Notification types include:

  • Account operations: Actions such as account creation and account modification will trigger a notification.
  • Approval operations: Actions such as approval assignment or approval escalation.
  • Review tasks: Actions such as review task assignment or pending review tasks.
  • Error alerts: Actions such as agent disconnected from orchestrated system or failed target operation notification for an orchestrated system.

Notifications are sent by email only, using the default Oracle Access Governance email server, or by your own OCI email delivery service. You can configure global settings such as notification email, logo, and language. Specific notification types can be enabled or disabled, and you can set notification email Subject, and the content for the notification email body.
