Enabling or Disabling Admin Notifications

By default, the site administrator receives email notifications for activity across all portals. You can change this globally or on a per-portal basis to route notifications exclusively to assigned project managers.

Global Setting #

To control whether the admin receives portal notifications site-wide:

1. Go to Settings → ClientPress → Access & Login
2. Find Admin Notifications
3. Toggle Admin receives portal notifications on or off
4. Save settings

When enabled (default): The admin receives notifications for all portals, in addition to any assigned project managers.

When disabled: Only assigned project managers receive notifications. The admin is excluded — unless no project managers are assigned to a portal, in which case the admin still receives notifications for that portal as a failsafe.

Per-Portal Override #

You can disable admin notifications for a specific portal without changing the global setting. This is useful when a project manager is fully responsible for a client and the admin doesn’t need to be copied.

1. Open the portal in your WordPress admin
2. In the portal editor sidebar, find the Notifications or Settings section
3. Enable Disable admin notifications for this portal
4. Save the portal

With this enabled, the admin will not receive notifications for that portal even if the global setting is on.

The Failsafe Rule #

Regardless of how the global or per-portal settings are configured, the admin always receives notifications for any portal that has no project managers assigned. This prevents notifications from disappearing into a void when no one else is set up to receive them.

To fully remove admin from notifications on a portal, assign at least one project manager to it and enable the per-portal override.

Recommended Setup #

• Solo agency, you manage all portals — Leave admin notifications enabled globally
• Team agency, PMs own their portals — Disable admin notifications globally, assign PMs to all portals
• Mixed: some portals self-managed, some PM-managed — Enable globally, use per-portal override on PM-managed portals
