Add Users and Groups

Contacts

The Contacts node in the Navigator pane contains the Users and Groups sub-nodes. Create and maintain Users and Groups for notification purposes.

Note:  At least one User is required for SQL Sentry to send notifications. For notifications, we recommend that you use Groups with nested Users

  • Double-click the Users node ( Contacts > Users) in the Navigator pane.

    Note:  Add as many users and groups as you want at this point. Groups are optional.
