Where can I deactivate E-Mail notifications for a specific PIM role?

Question

Hi!

You get an email from Microsoft Azure when someone has assigned themselves to a role, now my question is:

How can I disable these emails for a specific user, even if there are other users in the group who want to receive these emails.

I have also read through all the Microsoft articles but have not come to a solution.
I would really appreciate it if someone here can assist me with this problem.

Since he is in the 'Security Administrator' role, he gets all the emails from Microsoft Azure that someone has activated his role, he doesn't need that.

@Emre
Thank you for your post and I apologize for the delayed response!

Adding onto what was mentioned by @Andy David - MVP , you can modify the PIM notifications for Azure AD roles within the Role itself under the Role Settings. For more info - Configure Azure AD role settings in Privileged Identity Management.

Open role settings:

1. Sign in to Azure portal with a user in the Privileged Role Administrator role.
2. Open Azure AD Privileged Identity Management > Azure AD roles > Role settings.
3. Select the role whose settings you want to configure.
4. Select Edit to open the Role settings page.
5. On the Role setting pane, open the Notifications tab to edit/update the PIM notification(s) for the Azure AD role.

Note: Referencing the below table, since the user you're trying to remove notifications for is a Security Administrator, you'll just have to update the notifications for - Send notifications when members are assigned as active to this role and Send notifications when eligible members activate this role.

Notifications for Azure AD roles
Note: As shared by AndyDavid, the Default Recipients for the Role Activation Alert are Admins - Privileged Role Administrator, Security Administrator, and Global Administrator.

Additional Link:
Outlook Create a rule on a message - I'm sharing this in case your Security Administrator wants to create an Outlook rule to automatically move PIM notification emails to another folder.

I hope this helps!

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
Thank you for your time and patience throughout this issue.

Can you disable the default notifications and assign the users who want to get notified as additional recipients?
