As a part of security finding, need to have email notifications configured for events like,  
1] when password of awx local user is updated  
2] when email address of awx local user is updated

So far I have seen custom notifications can be set for job related events (success/failure etc) I do not see event on user administration work.

Any assistance to achieve the above scenario is helpful.

Thanks,

Hi @Vrunda,

I don’t see any option related notificaton when local user change their information like password and or email.

We have Activity stream, [3. The User Interface — Ansible AWX community documentation](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx/en/latest/userguide/main_menu.html?highlight=activity#activity-stream) that i think track this type of info, but i don’t see any option to send notificaton for certain event.

My suggestion is to use external auth like ldap or keycloak instead local user.
