The email notifications provide a basic summary of the specific recommendation with a link to the related area of the Microsoft Entra admin center. The email also includes a link to related documentation so you can learn more about the recommendation and how to resolve it. These emails are enabled by default, aren't promotional or marketing emails, and don't contain any upselling content. These emails are purely informational and designed to help you act quickly when a new recommendation is available.
 
## How to update your email notification settings
 
Tenants are opted in to receive Microsoft Entra recommendation emails by default. To turn off these emails, follow these steps:
1. Browse to **Entra ID** > **Overview** > **Recommendations**.
1. Select **Email settings**.

## Who receives email notifications?
 
Not all Microsoft Entra recommendations send email notifications. For those recommendations that do send email notifications, the administrative roles that receive the notifications vary. For details, see the [Recommendations overview table](overview-recommendations.md#recommendations-overview-table).

### I activated the agent but see "Fail" in the activity status. What's happening?
 
It's possible that the agent was enabled with an account that requires role activation with Privileged Identity Management (PIM). So when the agent attempted to run, it failed because the account didn't have the required permissions at that time.
          
You can resolve this issue by migrating to use [Microsoft Entra Agent ID](../agent-id/identity-professional/microsoft-entra-agent-identities-for-ai-agents.md). Select **Create agent identity** from either the banner message on the agent page or the **Identity and permissions** section of the agent settings.

It's possible that the agent was enabled before Microsoft Ignite 2025 with an account that required role activation with Privileged Identity Management (PIM). So when the agent attempted to run, it failed because the account didn't have the required permissions at that time. Conditional Access Optimization Agents that were turned on after November 17, 2025 no longer use the identity of the user who activated the agent.
