- not provided
- Scenario
- Attempting to turn off weekly PIM alert notifications when the standard Identity Protection digest settings are ineffective.
- Observed behavior

Disable Alert Notifications in Azure PIM Settings
A proven workaround to stop weekly PIM emails by adjusting alert settings directly within the Privileged Identity Management dashboard.
When the standard Entra ID Identity Protection weekly digest settings fail to halt the emails, you can bypass them by directly altering the alert notification settings within the PIM Discover and Monitor module.
Log in to the Microsoft Entra admin center and open the Azure Identity Overview page.
Go to 'Privileged Identity Management' from the main Azure dashboard menu.
In the left-hand Privileged Identity Management menu, select 'Discover and monitor'.
Click on 'Alerts' and then choose 'Settings' from the top navigation bar.
Manually disable the applicable alert notification configurations and save your changes to stop the weekly emails.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the standard Identity Protection Weekly Digest setting not stop PIM emails?
Entra ID Identity Protection and Privileged Identity Management operate with overlapping but distinct alert systems. Sometimes, disabling the identity protection digest does not automatically cascade to PIM role alerts, requiring you to modify the PIM settings directly.
What administrator roles do I need to change PIM alert settings?
You typically need to be assigned the Privileged Role Administrator or Global Administrator role within your Azure tenant to manage and modify Privileged Identity Management alert configurations.
Will disabling PIM alerts affect critical real-time security notifications?
Disabling these specific weekly digest alerts stops the recurring summary emails. However, you should review your overall security configuration to ensure that real-time email alerts for highly privileged role activations remain active if required by your organization's security policies.
