Can we modify "Send Alerts To " field to add/remove users from existing alerts

if i edit the alert i can not add/remove users from the "Send alerts to" field.

also if i remove the alert from my user, it will not remove them from the 2 users' alerts
is this how alerts works?

Hi JohnJohn0472,
If you set up the alerts for these users and you are a site owner, you can remove the alerts by going to Site Settings and removing the alerts. First, go to Site Settings under the settings cog in the top right corner of the site. Under Site Administration, click on User Alerts. You should see a dropdown for "Display alerts for:"

Click the dropdown and choose the user that you want to remove the alert for and then click Update in order to see their alerts. It should show you all of the alerts they currently have set up for the site. Make sure that the alert that is showing is the one you want to remove. Click in the check box and choose "Delete Selected Alerts". This will delete the alert.

For your follow up question....no, this will not remove the alerts for everyone, just the person you are removing the alert for.

Again, if they have more than one alert set up, you will want to make sure that you are removing the correct one.

Hope this helps!

Hi @john john ，
As 10972854 said, for your first question, there is currently no way to edit the alert to add/remove users in the "Send alert to" field, only the way 10972854 provides.
