Configuring alert options

Azure AD Identity Protection is only effective if the available alert options are correctly configured, the alerts are being diligently reviewed by administrators, and the appropriate steps are being taken where needed. Identity Protection has two notification settings that can be configured to alert administrators of risk detection within Microsoft 365: Users at risk detected alerts and Weekly digest. The following sub-sections cover these in detail.

Users at risk detected alerts

This alert can be found under the Notify section of Azure AD Identity Protection and can be used to configure an email alert that will be sent to administrators when a user at risk is detected. The benefit of this alert is that administrators receive email notifications as soon as the risk event is detected. Follow these steps to set up these alerts:
