# Define Container Vulnerability Response email notifications

Set up email notifications to share useful information about important updates and activities such as approval and rejection of false-positive requests. Creating an email notification involves specifying when to send it, who receives it, and what it contains.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_vul.vulnerability\_admin or sn\_vul.admin \(deprecated\)

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Vulnerability Response** > **Administration** > **Email Templates**.

2.  Select **New**.

    For detailed instructions for creating email notifications, see [Create an email notification](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-administration/t_CreateANotification.md).


## Result

Starting from v21.0 of Vulnerability Response, when a recipient clicks the links in an email notification, the records open in the Vulnerability Manager Workspace or IT Remediation Workspace based on their role.

-   Links open in the Vulnerability Manager Workspace for users with the roles, sn\_vul\_container.vulnerability\_analyst, or sn\_vul\_container.vulnerability\_admin.
-   Links open in the IT Remediation Workspace for users with roles, sn\_vul\_container.remediation\_owner.

If the recipient doesn’t have any of the preceding roles, the links in an email notification open in the classic UI.

-   **[Create or edit remediation target notifications](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/container-vulnerability-response/cvr-create-remediation-notification.md)**  
Vulnerability administrators can edit the remediation target notification or add new ones, specifying when to send the notification, who receives the notification, and what content is in the notification.
