Notifications

Route specific events (a new applicant, a ban, a published post) to whichever roles should know about them.

Admin → Settings → Notifications has two tabs: your own notification inbox, and the routing rules that decide who gets notified about what.

What can trigger a notification

EventFires when
New applicant awaiting approvalSomeone signs in and is waiting on a decision.
Applicant approvedAn applicant was approved and became a full member.
Member bannedA member was banned from the site.
News publishedA news post went live on the feed.

Routing rules

Each event is routed to zero or more roles — an event with no roles assigned simply never generates a notification. This is how, for example, only officers who approve members see "new applicant" notifications, while everyone with a role that reads news sees "news published."

Your notifications

Notifications you're eligible for (based on your roles) collect in your own inbox, reachable from the bell icon, so you don't have to go looking for what changed.
