Set Expired Certificate Notification Permission

Set Expired Certificate Notification Permission

Limit who's notified about expiring certificates by assigning the Receive Certificate Expiration Notifications permission. When you assign this permission to at least one admin, users with the System Administrator profile or the Modify All Data permission receive emails about an expiring certificate only the day before it expires and the day of expiry. Admins with the permission receive emails at 60, 30, and 10 days before a certificate expires. If you don’t assign this permission to anyone, all users with either the System Administrator profile or the Modify All Data system permission continue to receive all certificate expiration emails.

Assign the Receive Certificate Expiration Notifications permission to only those admins who manage certificates.

If you choose to not assign the Receive Certificate Expiration Notifications permission to any admin, every admin in your org continues to receive all email notifications about expiring certificates.

  1. Add the system permission Receive Certificate Expiration Notifications to a new permission set.
  2. Assign the new permission set to specific users. We recommend assigning the permission only to admins whose duties include maintaining certificates.
    After you make the assignments, only the assigned users are notified of certificates expiring until the day before expiry. To prevent disruptions caused by expired certificates, we widen the notification broadcast to all admins for 48 hours starting the day before a certificate expires. Notifications for the expired certificates cease the day after expiry.

Periodically review who is notified of expiring certificates and update as necessary.
