Admin UI - Notification Options

Managing Automated Notifications

When you go through your initial site setup, you are asked to provide an administrative contact email. This email is then used as the default contact method for all XNAT notifications. However, you can easily split this up into multiple emails for various system events if you prefer, using the Admin UI. Go to Administer > Site Administration > Notification Options to begin.

You can also edit your Admin contact email at Administer > Site Administration > Site Setup.
