Notifications

Subscriptions

Notifications in Blazam operate on the principal of subscriptions.

Subscriptions can either allow or block notifications.

Each subscription is assigned the specific object actions it should notify or block.

Notifications are sent for all Active Directory object types for the subscribed actions.

Notifications inhert down the directory, meaning that an allow subscription at the top of the directory will trigger for every object in Blazam. If a block subscription is created at a lower level, any object in that or deeper Organizational Units will be ignored for those notification action triggers.

Limitations

It's important to point out that Blazam can only notify on changes made from within Blazam itself. It does not actively monitor Active Directory and track changes.

Notification Scope

Notifications respect the permissions provided to your account.

You must have read access to the AD objects in question to be able to receive notifications about their changes.

Notification Types

Create

When a user, group, or OU is created.

Delete

When an object is deleted.

Modify

When any field is changed, barring password changes and group membership changes.

Group Assignment

When an object is assigned or unassigned from a group, a notification will be sent.

Password Change

When a password is reset.

Delivery Types

In App

Subscriptions applying to In App will be posted for display in the notifications panel within the Blazam web application. A highlight of unread message count will be displayed next to the Notifications button as they arrive.

To Email

Subscriptions set for email will send an email notification to the user's configured email address within Blazam (accessible from the User Button of each Blazam user).

By default Blazam populates all users emails with the value in Active Dirctory, if available.

Block

Subscriptions that block do the exact opposite of those that don't. It provides a way to easily exclude certain OU's or objects from sending unneccessary notifications.
