Feature Overview
Insights events are currently sent to all subscribed users of the organization. This feature is for bundle/app to specify that the event is sent to all administrator users. This was specifically requested by OpenShift and Managed services teams.
Goals
This feature expand use cases for the Notifications service. Today, Notifications cannot target specific users of an organization. This is a limitation for event producers like OpenShift or Managed services, who would like to trigger events related to sub-group of users (e.g. organization admins only).
Requirements
The current proposal is to add the ability to specify a boolean flag as part of the Kafka message sent to Notifications service. Each sender (e.g. OpenShift, Managed Kafka) can populate the message with the boolean flag to target admin users. Notifications service uses this boolean flag to send notifications to administrators of the organization only.
| Requirement | Notes | isMvp |
|---|---|---|
| Add bolean flag for admins to the Kafka message schema | MVP | |
| Handle admin flag when sending emails | In the future, other senders will use this list (e.g. Notifications Drawer, Slack to users, etc) | MVP |
Use Cases
Senders of Insights events will specify that the notifications must go to administrators only as part of their Kafka message sent to platform.notifications.ingress topic.
If the admin boolean is specified, Notifications service will only handle admin users (not all users of the organization).
Out of Scope
The management of admin users is handled by c.r.c RBAC.
Background, and strategic fit
This feature was requested by OpenShift and Managed Services teams, wishing to notify administrator users only. Specifying this admin flag as part of the Kafka message should remain optional.
Assumptions
The management of admin users for the organization is handled by c.r.c RBAC.
Providing an admin boolean flag as part of a Kafka message is optional.

Documentation Considerations
This is an internal feature (not customer facing at this stage).
Questions
| Question | Outcome |
| How do we handle 'recipient' for 'Send an email' in the Notification Settings? Currently we set it to 'All registered users'. Shall we provide the ability for Notif. Admin to select 'all admin users, all owner users, etc? or would that only be handle by the bundle/app as part of the Kafka message? | Introduce 'Users: All' and 'Users: Admins' |
| Shall we extend this feature to supporting RBAC recipients? e.g. What is an admin user (RBAC Administrator role)? | Not part of this MVP. 'User Access Group' as recipient is being designed and will be a different epic/task |
