System Notifications

System notifications are generated when Anodot detects important functionality misalignments, such as an expired Azure token, an unassociated linked account, or a new linked account. They typically indicate an action needed to be performed by administrators.

The various notifications are listed in the Notification types section below.

Accessing and viewing notifications

Notifications are displayed in the upper pane, as shown in the following image.
