Unclear Maintenance Email

My customer received a maintenance email concerning VMs in Central US. The email contained this sentence:  "An email with a list of your affected virtual machines was sent to your subscription's administrator accounts at approximately 23:30 UTC on 29 December 2022." 

Can anyone tell me who exactly is included in "your subscription's administrator accounts"? That is not a very clear statement, in my opinion.

    Hi,

    Based on my experience/knowledge I would say Account Administrator, Service Administrator, Co-Administrators, Owners, Contributors. So if you think I'm correct, then the FAQ is close enough. I think the term "subscription admins" here is imprecise because generally that is used to refer to all of the classic admins.

    Please note there is often overlap of the above. Especially account admin and service admin.

    Thanks.

    Yup, I agree - that's my interpretation as well.

    But I feel that the email verbiage should be improved so that interpretation isn't necessary.
