      Use Role-based Administration to grant agent tree domain permissions to users. If transmission occurs on any agent belonging to a specific domain, the email are sent to the email addresses of the users with domain permissions. See the following table for examples:

      Table 1. Agent Tree Domains and Permissions

      Agent Tree Domain

      Roles with Domain Permissions

      User Account with the Role

      Email Address for the User Account

      Domain A

      Administrator (built-in)

      root

      mary@xyz.com

      Role_01

      admin_john

      john@xyz.com

      admin_chris

      chris@xyz.com

      Domain B

      Administrator (built-in)

      root

      mary@xyz.com

      Role_02

      admin_jane

      jane@xyz.com

      If any Security Agent belonging to Domain A detects a C&C callback, the email will be sent to mary@xyz.com, john@xyz.com, and chris@xyz.com.

      If any Security Agent belonging to Domain B detects the C&C callback, the email is sent to mary@xyz.com and jane@xyz.com.

      Note:

      When enabling this option, all users with domain permissions must have a corresponding email address. The email notification will not be sent to users without an email address. Users and email addresses are configured from Administration > Account Management > User Accounts.
