💡 Still using the classic Drata experience? Refer to Policy Owner Notification for the original UI.
Policy owners receive notifications when changes are made to the policies they manage. These notifications help ensure policy accountability and continuity.
By default, policy owner notifications are enabled. Each policy owner can turn notifications on or off at any time.
Manage policy notifications
To update your policy notification settings:
Select Settings → Notifications.
Ensure notifications are enabled.
Under Policies, turn Updates to policies assigned to me on or off.
When policy owners receive notifications
A policy owner receives an email notification in the following scenarios:
New assignment: A policy is assigned to a new owner by someone other than the owner.
Owner removal: A policy owner is removed by someone other than the owner.
Policy update: A policy is updated by someone other than the policy owner.
Access removal: A policy owner’s access to Drata is removed. Drata automatically reassigns the policy to the first available Admin, and the Admin receives an email notification about the reassignment.
