Overriding system email settings

If configured at the host level, your organization inherits the host system email settings. But as administrator, you can override these settings with specific settings for your organization, if needed.

Note: You do not have to customize these settings unless you want to make changes compared to the host-level setup. If you do not make any changes, the host configuration applies.

To override the settings for system emails:

2. On the Identity management portal, go to Admin > Settings and select the Email tab.
3. Make changes as needed.
4. Click Save in the bottom-right to apply your changes.
