Notification roles

 

Applies to: Forefront Security for SharePoint

The top pane of the Notification Setup dialog box contains the list of default notification “roles”. Each role can be customized, as well as enabled or disabled.

Both File and Virus notifications include individual e-mail notices. E-mail notifications are sent to the e-mail address of the administrator or author.

Default notification roles

These are the various Notification roles. Typically, each role is used for reporting the who, what, where, and when details of the infection or the filtering performed, including the disposition of the virus or the attachment:

  • Virus Administrators   Alerts administrators of all viruses detected on a server being protected by FSSP.
  • Virus Author   Alerts someone that a virus has been detected in a file that he or she authored.
  • Virus Last Modified User   Alerts the last person who modified a file that a virus has been detected in that file.
  • File Administrators   Alerts administrators of all files that satisfy the filtering criteria on the server being protected by FSSP. This notification is also used for messages blocked by the File Filter.
  • File Author   Alerts someone that a filter match has been detected in a file he or she authored. This notification is also used for messages blocked by the file filter.
  • File Last Modified User   Alerts the last person who modified a file that a filter match has been detected in a file.
  • Keyword Administrators   Alerts administrators of all files that satisfy the keyword filtering criteria on the server being protected by Forefront Security for SharePoint.

Note

Each of the preceding categories also exists in the listing as a Template for the item, to aid you in deploying notification templates to remote servers.
