# Configure recipients
Configuring recipients for your notifications is necessary so you can start receiving timely updates about various events in your account.
Account administrators can define recipients for each [notification category](https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/modules-and-features/settings/notifications/..#notification_types). Recipients include specific users as well as a group of users who are informed when a certain event is triggered. For example, if subscription-related notifications are enabled, recipients receive an email alert when a specific subscription is updated.
Administrators can also manage recipients for an email message by adding new ones or removing existing ones.
### Configuring recipients
To add specific users and groups to your email notifications:
1. Go to **Settings** > **Notifications**.
2. Select the **Subscribers** tab. Then, select the relevant category. For example, to configure recipients for order-related notifications, select **Orders**.
3. On the details page, select the **Recipients** tab.
Use the recipients tab on the Subscriber details page to configure recipients.
4. Define the recipients:
* To define specific users, select **Edit** in the **Users** section and select all users who should receive email messages. Note that only active users are displayed in this list. If a user you want to add isn't displayed, make sure they have been [added to your account](https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/modules-and-features/settings/notifications/broken-reference).
* To add groups, select **Edit** in the **Groups** section and choose the required groups. You can select multiple groups from the list.
5. Select **Save**. Your list of recipients is updated for the selected category.
### Removing recipients
You can manage your recipients using the **Edit** option on the **Recipients** tab within the subscriber details page.
* To remove a user, clear the checkbox next to that user and save your changes.
Remove a user from your email notifications.
* To remove a group, clear the checkbox next to that group and save your changes.
