Share alerts

Required permissions

To share an alert with others, you must meet one of the following criteria:

• You are the Owner of the alert.

• You have the Editor permission on the alert.

• You have the Cloud Analytics Admin permission.

You can share an alert in the following ways:

• Share with individual colleagues.

• Share with your whole organization.

• Share with a Microsoft Teams subdomain (teams.ms) so you can send emails to a channel in Teams.

• Share with a Slack subdomain (slack.com) so you can send emails to Slack.

See Summary for quick reference.

Edit permissions

To share an alert, you need to give access to the intended recipients:

1. Navigate to the main Alerts screen.

2. Locate the alert of interest.

   • To share an individual alert, select the three dots menu (⋮) at the rightmost end of the alert entry, and then select Edit permissions.

   • To share multiple alerts, select the checkbox of each alert entry, and then select Edit permissions in the upper-right corner of the screen.

3. Enter the email of the user with whom you intend to share, and give them Viewer or Editor access.

   Note

   You can only add email addresses in your organization's domain, a Microsoft Teams subdomain (teams.ms), or a Slack subdomain (slack.com). Other domains are not supported.

4. Select Add to apply the changes. The recipient will receive an invitation email with the relevant information.

Change permissions

You can change permissions on an alert from the same configuration window, including:

• Change the permission of an individual user to Viewer or Editor, or remove the access.

• Change the permission of the whole organization, Microsoft Teams, or Slack to Viewer or Editor, or remove the access.

Transfer ownership

To transfer the ownership of an alert to another user, select Make owner.

Be aware of the following rules when transferring ownership:

• An alert can have only one owner and the owner must be an individual user.

• You can transfer your ownership only to a user who already has the Editor permission.

• Once the ownership is transferred, the previous owner becomes an Editor of the alert.
