# Event Management Operator Tutorial

As an Event Management operator, your role is to find alerts, analyze them, and take action to help resolve the underlying issue.

**Note:** The Operator Workspace interface is available only to customers who have upgraded from a release prior to the Utah release. New customers as of the Utah release can use the Service Operations Workspace for ITOM, which offers an enhanced UI for managing alerts.
