Admin notifications
Overview
Admin Notifications provide the same options as Notification policies, however Admin Notifications are specific to Admin accounts for Strivacity.
You can customize these to inform your Strivacity admins on security events or activity on their admin accounts.
Admin notifications are delivered in two ways 1) e-mail (relayed through our hosting partner, Amazon's Simple Email Service) and 2) SMS (relayed using our SMS and Voice delivery partner, Telesign).
All email notifications are sent using the email address noreply.[brandname].strivacity.com where [brandname] is the name that you have defined for your Strivacity instance.

Admin Notifications
Strivacity provides the following admin email notifications:
| Template | Description |
|---|---|
| Account Invite | This template is used for sending account invitation notifications to onboard administrative identities. Account invites are mandatory notifications that are automatically sent to administrators invited to the Admin Console. |
| Forgotten Username Reminder | This template is sent to a admin's primary email account when they use the self-service 'I forgot my Username' option during the Login process. Note: This is generally only useful if you've decided to use a dedicated username or mobile phone number as the primary admin identifier (vs the email address). |
| Password Reset | This template is sent to a admin's primary email address when they use the 'Forgot my Password' option during the Login process. This is a one-time-use link with a default lifetime of 60 minutes. This link should be considered a secret until it has been used. See Editing a Self-Service Policy for more information on how to edit the link lifetime. |
| Password Reset Request Succeeded | This template is sent to a admin's primary email address after they have successfully changed their password. The email also includes a link for the customer to reset their password if this change was not made by them. |
| MFA Method Enroll | This template is sent to a admin's primary email address to inform them that they have enrolled in Email based Multi-Factor Authentication. The email will contain a one-time-passcode that the customer will need to use to verify that they own this email account. |
| MFA Method Change | This template is sent to a admin's primary email address to inform them when an MFA Method (and its factor type) has been changed or removed. For example, if a customer changes their phone number for SMS-based MFA, this will inform them. This is to provide the admin's awareness of this change in case they did not make it themselves. |
| Account Updated | This template is used for sending an update via email about any changes made in the admin's account. Example The admin receives an email update about their updated name and home address. |
| One-time-Passcode | This template is sent to an admin's primary email address when the Email OTP MFA method is used during login. The email contains a single-use One-time Passcode that has a default expiry of 6 minutes. |
| Magic Link | This template is sent to an admin's primary email address when the email Magic Link MFA method is used during login. The email contains a single-use Magic Link that has a default expiry of 6 minutes. |
