Comments on: Troubleshooting SharePoint Alerts – User List and List Permissions http://sharepointalert.info/2009/11/troubleshooting-sharepoint-alerts-user-email-address-list-permissions/ everything you ever wanted to know about SharePoint Alerts Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:24:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kristina P http://sharepointalert.info/2009/11/troubleshooting-sharepoint-alerts-user-email-address-list-permissions/comment-page-1/#comment-7335 Kristina P Mon, 28 Nov 2011 21:18:05 +0000 http://sharepointalert.info/?p=241#comment-7335 I wanted to share a solution with your readers, since your article helped me to reach it. The problem was: • Initial confirmation email to DL-IT-DivisionName would go out, but no alerts would come after that first email • Creating alerts for individual people worked fine – for example, user1;user2;user3– but we could not expand/paste the whole distribution list, because it would not fit in the field length restriction. Everyone in the company has read permissions on this site, through the permission DOMAIN\domain users, but it turned out that sharepoint needed the DL granted permission explicitly, by name. Once I added DL-IT-DivisionName to the Members group, the alert worked fine. I wanted to share a solution with your readers, since your article helped me to reach it.
