            Create Alerts for Security Changes

            Create custom alerts to immediately learn about changes made to security settings that you care about. Alerts notify you by email or in the Salesforce app when a setting in your Security Center tenant exceeds a threshold that you set. Create as many alerts as you want so that you can stay informed of your tenant’s security posture.

            Note

            Customize your alerts to learn about changes to how your users log in, which permissions are assigned, and how many apps and managed package are installed. To create an alert:

            1. From the Security Center dashboard, click the Alert Settings tab.
            2. Click the New Alert button, then complete the fields. You can choose to receive one or both of the alert types.
            3. When every field is complete, save the alert as a draft, or save and activate.
              Complete the fields to create a new Alert
            Example
            Example

            You track multiple connected tenants. Monitoring how many users have the Modify All Data permission is more difficult as your org grows. Instead of periodically checking the assigned permissions for each tenant, you can create an alert. Then you receive an email and an in-app notification so that you know when the total users with the Modify All Data permission exceeds your specified threshold or increases. With this information, you can reevaluate your tenant’s security posture. You can also trigger a flow on the TenantSecurityNotification object for this alert to incorporate a custom business process. For more examples, see Use Cases for Alerts.

            From the Alert Settings page, use the dropdown menu to activate, deactivate, or edit each alert. Click the name of an alert to see a history of when it was triggered.
