# Manage system-wide notifications

> [!note]
> To configure Content Hub, you must either be a superuser or have the necessary permissions granted to you through [user group policies](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/user-group-policies.html "User group policies").

You can use notifications to inform users about specific events within their Sitecore Content Hub instance. You can choose one or more [notification](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/event-notifications.html "Event notifications") methods—by email, by a pop-up message in the right-hand corner of the screen, or in a slide-out pane that opens by clicking **Notifications** :mdiBellOutline: on the menu bar.

> [!important]
> Notification settings defined by the user override system-wide default notifications.

To configure system-wide notifications:

1. On the menu bar, click **Manage** :mdiCogOutline:.
2. On the **Manage** page, click **Notifications**.
3. On the **Notifications** page, next to any event, turn on the **Email** switch, the **Real time** switch, the **In-app** switch, or any combination of these, depending on how you want notifications for this event to be delivered. Some types of event only support one of these delivery methods.

    > [!note]
    > If a user has enabled push notifications in their browser for the affected Sitecore Content Hub domain, real time notifications will also appear as push notifications.

4. Click **Save**.

To improve performance when sending notifications to large numbers of recipients, you can [configure in-app and email notifications to be delivered asynchronously](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/settings.html#UUID-f2d04685-2f08-f790-7224-347f445a7388_section-idm1733564794439650 "Notifications") when the number of recipients meets or exceeds a defined threshold.
