How to: Disable Subscriber Management (SQL Server Management Studio)
Using the Properties dialog for the instance of Notification Services, you can disable subscriber management for an instance of Notification Services. Disabling subscriber management stops anyone from adding, deleting, or modifying subscriber records, but not subscriptions. Subscriptions are managed per application; as long as subscriptions are enabled in an application, subscriptions can be added, deleted, and modified.
The following procedure shows how to disable subscriber management by using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
To disable subscriber updates
In Object Explorer, expand Notification Services.
Right-click the instance of Notification Services and select Properties.
In the left pane, select Subscribers.
In the table, clear the check box in the Enabled column.
Click OK to apply the change.
