Configuring Global Email Servers for Notifications
Tenant administrators can add email servers as part of configuring notifications for their own tenants. As a
system administrator, you can set up global inbound and outbound email servers that appear to all
tenants as the system defaults. If tenant administrators do not override these settings before enabling
notifications, vRealize Automation uses the globally configured email servers.
Create a Global Inbound Email Server
System administrators create a global inbound email server to handle inbound email notifications, such as
approval responses. You can create only one inbound server, which appears as the default for all tenants.
If tenant administrators do not override these settings before enabling notifications, vRealize Automation
uses the globally configured email server.
