Hello @Yasin Turan ,

Thank you for reaching out Microsoft Q&A.

I understand you are not receiving the emails from Microsoft Azure for the PIM roles activation

If an approval request is approved in the Azure portal before the first email is sent, the first email will no longer be triggered, and other approvers won't be notified by email of the approval request. It might appear as if they didn't get an email but it's the expected behavior.

This can also result from the information provided in the below Screenshot.

Thank you for your answer. We don’t approve; we just want to know who activates their roles. It used to notify our group, which only has 15 members.

Hello @Goutam Pratti ,

Role assignment alerts have "Admin" set as the default recipient. I added my email to the additional recipients, and now I’m receiving emails. However, I need to repeat this process for each role individually. Previously, we used to receive these alerts without needing to add additional recipients. What does "Admin" in the default recipients refer to?

Thanks.

Hello @Yasin Turan ,

Thanks for your Prompt Response.

Based on your query, I understand you are referring to the notification tab from the PIM setting of "Edit role setting - Application Administrator" as shown below and wondering what does "Admin" mean from default recipients.

Privileged Identity Management (PIM) send out notification when important events occur in your Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) organization, such as when a role is assigned or activated. Privileged Identity Management keeps admins (Privileged Role Administrator, Security Administrator and Global Administrator) informed by default also other participants who are mentioned in email notifications.

If you do not want admins to receive notifications for certain role activities such as assigning and activating roles, you may exclude admin by unchecking admin recipient.

Refer to Email notifications in PIM and Configure Azure AD role settings in Privileged Identity Management for further information.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

Hello Goutam,

Thank you for your response. I actually like to get notified when someone activate their role. All default recipients admin, assignee and approver are checked but I still don't get notified. Thanks.

Hello @Yasin Turan ,

Thank you for your prompt response.

I understand you want to get notified when someone activate their role

I recommend to give the email address in additional recipients for the role activation alert and notify me whether you are getting an email alert or not?

regards,
Goutam Pratti.

Hello @Goutam Pratti

When I add my email to Additional recipients, I'm receiving alerts. But it used to send alerts without adding to the additional recipients. We have to do this for every role we are using 100 roles.

Thanks,
