SharePoint Online Alerts
I'm a site admin for a SharePoint Online site and wondering if there is a way to disable the list alerts? So, in this particular List, I'm considering to add more metadata, but many users have alerts...
This should still be valid: https://www.sharepointeurope.com/disable-sharepoint-alerts-on-a-specific-list/ Create a custom permission level where you don't use the create alert permissions
Isn't this doing something different than what Kanu_20 is looking for? Your article presents a way to prevent users from creating alerts with a custom permission level, when we know Kanu_20's users already have them--we don't know what that permission level would do to users that already have them. I'd hope that SharePoint wouldn't clear these configured alerts just because new ones can't be made, but if they do (only way to know is with a test), Kanu_20 would create far more damage than alert messages would.
- The article (not my article) shows how to disable alerts creation by means of a permission level you can map to SharePoint Group where you can add the people you don't require to create alerts...if that's not the use case (sorry for not understanding well the use case), then the article is not appropiate for what Kanu is looking for
