### Available Security Notifications

Choose for users to receive notifications for the following security-related events:

**Access from a Different Geographic Location**

An email is sent to only the user when their geographical location changes since their last login.

***

**Multiple Failed Password Attempts**

An email is sent to the user and all network admins when a user exceeds the allowed number of failed login attempts as set in the [Failed Authentication Attempt Policy](https://guides.mangoapps.com/admin-guide/security/password-settings#failed-authentication-attempt-policy).

***

**Unauthorized Access Attempt**

An email is sent to all network admins when a user attempts to access content they do not have permission for. Example: A user tries to open a file shared via a link but is not a member of the respective team.

***

**Unauthorized Attempt to Access an Invalid URL**

An email is sent to all network admins when a user tries to access a non-existent or invalid URL. Example: A user attempts to open a post or file that has been deleted.

***

**Unauthorized Attempt to Access the Admin Portal**

An email is sent to all network admins when a network or guest user tries to access the admin portal without proper authorization.

***

**Unauthorized Attempt to Access from Outside Valid IP Range**

An email is sent to all network admins when a user tries to access the domain from an IP address outside the defined IP range for browser access. Example: A user attempts access from IP 77.111.247.13, but the allowed range is 111.123.168.1 to 111.123.168.999.
