Add a Multitenant Notifications Profile

Learn how to add multitenant notifications profiles manually or by using the quick start template through the Strata Multitenant Cloud Manager.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • Strata Multitenant Cloud Manager
  • Prisma Access license
  • Identity & Access role: Multitenant Superuser or Superuser for managing
  • Other roles have read access to profiles and can view the notification feed, including performing actions
After you have activated your license, created your multitenant hierarchy, and managed user access to the Strata Multitenant Cloud Manager, you can add notifications profiles by using the quickstart template for incidents, quickstart template for announcements and upgrades, or manually.
When you create a notification profile, you can enable the delivery of aggregated notifications via emails or webhooks. Without a profile, the notifications display in the web interface by default.
Incident notifications are only available through webhooks and emails, but announcement and upgrade notifications are available in the web interface in addition to webhooks and emails. Because your tenant users don't always come to the Strata Multitenant Cloud Manager interface, they might need a different way to monitor incidents, which are more critical and time-sensitive. They might also have a variety of ticketing systems, so they might prefer to integrate the incident notifications with those systems using webhooks.
You can add a notifications profile to a top-most, root-level tenant or to an intermediate parent tenant.
