Notifications in Metabase include [alerts](../questions/sharing/alerts.md) and [dashboard subscriptions](../dashboards/subscriptions.md#setting-up-a-dashboard-subscription).
Notification **recipients** can see whatever the notification **creator** can see. For example, if:
## Who can edit dashboard subscriptions and alerts
- Beau creates a subscription to a dashboard saved in their [personal collection](../exploration-and-organization/collections.md#your-personal-collection).
- Beau adds Anya to the dashboard subscription.
- Anya will see the dashboard in her email, even though she doesn't have permissions to view that dashboard in Beau's personal collection.
What you can do with alerts and dashboard subscriptions depends on whether you're in the Administrators group or in a sandboxed group.
From [Account settings](../people-and-groups/account-settings.md), all accounts can:
### All Users group notification permissions
Everyone's in the All Users group. Which means that everyone can:
- Create [alerts](../questions/sharing/alerts.md) and [dashboard subscriptions](../dashboards/subscriptions.md#setting-up-a-dashboard-subscription).
- Add new recipients to dashboard subscriptions that they own. Non-admins can only add themselves to alerts.
- Unsubscribe from any alert or subscription.
- Add new recipients to dashboard subscriptions that they created. Non-admins can only add themselves to alerts.
- Unsubscribe from any alert or subscription in their [Account settings](../people-and-groups/account-settings.md).
When a notification creator adds new recipients to an alert or subscription, Metabase will display data to the recipients using the **creator's**[data permissions](../permissions/data.md) and [collection permissions](../permissions/collections.md).
## Sandboxed accounts
### Sandboxed accounts notification permissions
Same as everyone in the All Users group, but with a special case: **people in sandboxed groups will only see themselves in the list of recipients** when creating an alert or subscription.
Same as [all accounts](#all-accounts), but **people using sandboxed accounts will only see themselves in the list of recipients** when creating an alert or subscription.
### Administrators group notification permissions
## Admins
People in the admin group can:
{% include plans-blockquote.html feature="Auditing tools" %}
- View all subscriptions and alerts.
- Add or remove recipients from an existing subscription or alert. Admins can safely add and remove recipients without changing the permissions of the alert or subscription. For example, if an admin adds Anya to a subscription created by Beau, Anya will receive emails with the same data that Beau can see (not what the admin can see).
- Delete subscriptions or alerts.
From Metabase's [auditing tools](../usage-and-performance-tools/audit.md#subscriptions-and-alerts), admins can:
Admins can also use Metabase's [auditing tools](../usage-and-performance-tools/audit.md#subscriptions-and-alerts) to manage notifications.
- View all subscriptions and alerts
- Add or remove recipients from an existing subscription or alert
- Delete subscriptions or alerts
## What notification recipients can see
Admins can add recipients without changing the permissions of the alert or subscription. For example, if an admin adds Anya to a subscription created by Beau, Anya will receive emails with the same data that the Beau can see.
Notification **recipients** can see whatever the notification **creator** can see. For example, if:
- Beau creates a subscription to a dashboard saved in their [personal collection](../exploration-and-organization/collections.md#your-personal-collection).
- Beau adds Anya to the dashboard subscription.
- Anya will see the dashboard results in her email, even though she doesn't have permissions to view that dashboard in Beau's personal collection.
