A role groups together notification presets into one manageable structure, so you can assign consistent notification behavior without configuring each notification individually. Examples of notification roles include **Customer**, **Technical Service**, **Maintenance**, and **Accounting**. In most cases, notification roles are created to match the responsibilities of a specific type of user. A role can include notification presets for multiple asset types, while the user will only receive notifications for the assets they are actually linked to. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/94d0a983-5058-4b02-8d06-1228a999a7a1/Images/Documentation/image-1775116824557.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-11T14%3A10%3A41Z&se=2026-11-11T15%3A10%3A41Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=rMNzNzHGDXDamcPI0%2BDVveR8MP0VeWi2ec%2BU1E4QH6k%3D) ## Create a notification role Click **Events** in the navigation menu.

Use the search bar to find a specific asset type, if needed. For each asset type that should be included in the role, click **[ none ]**. Select the notification presets that apply to that asset type. Give the notification role a clear and descriptive name.

This keeps the notification setup clear and easier to manage. Examples of profile-based roles include: - Customer - Technical Service - Maintenance - Accounting A profile-based notification role can include notification presets for multiple asset types. For example, one role may contain generator alarms, tank level alerts, and sensor threshold alerts. Even so, a user will only receive notifications for the specific assets they are assigned to. This means you can use one role for a user profile across different asset types, without sending irrelevant notifications to that user. **Example**: - A user has the role “Customer” - This role includes generator, tank, and sensor alarms - The user is only linked to a generator The user will only receive generator alarms, not tank or sensor notifications. ## Edit a notification role > [!TIP] > Hint! > > If a notification role already exists, you can update it at any time. For example, you can add or remove notification presets, change the asset types included in the role, or rename the role. Click **Events** in the navigation menu. Open the **Notification Roles** tab. Find the notification role you want to edit and click on it. Click **Edit**. ![Editing notification role settings for various asset types and alert configurations.](https://cdn.document360.io/94d0a983-5058-4b02-8d06-1228a999a7a1/Images/Documentation/2025-11-03 17-31-02.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-11T14%3A10%3A41Z&se=2026-11-11T15%3A10%3A41Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=rMNzNzHGDXDamcPI0%2BDVveR8MP0VeWi2ec%2BU1E4QH6k%3D) Editing a notification role is done in the same way as creating it. Click **[ none ]** for an asset type that is not yet included in the role, or click the existing notification preset name for an asset type that is already linked. Select the notification presets that should apply to that asset type. Update the name of the role, if needed. Click **Save**. ![Editing notification roles with asset types and notification presets displayed in a table.](https://cdn.document360.io/94d0a983-5058-4b02-8d06-1228a999a7a1/Images/Documentation/2025-11-03 17-35-43.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-11T14%3A10%3A41Z&se=2026-11-11T15%3A10%3A41Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=rMNzNzHGDXDamcPI0%2BDVveR8MP0VeWi2ec%2BU1E4QH6k%3D) ## Remove a notification role > [!TIP] > Hint! > > If a notification role no longer applies to your company, you can remove it at any time.
