No, they won't receive any alerts if they don't have permissions on those sites.

Hi,
we have a huge SharePoint 2016 on Premise environment. User permissions are managed by Active Directory groups. People make use of alerts on lists and document libraries in order to get notified about changes.
If people move from department to department users the permissions on sites change aswell. Typically alerts stay configured although users have no permissions any more on the sites.
Now to the question: do people still receive alert emails even if they do not have permissions on the content any more?`
Thanks
Sven

Hi @Anonymous ,
In this situation, it is impossible for users to receive the alert email.
By design,users must have permissions to the list or to the library for alerts and to the task list for tasks and for workflows.
