UserName and Password Notifications
Oracle provides a set of predefined notification templates for all enabled user categories. Users within these categories automatically receive notifications about changes to their accounts and passwords. You can also create custom templates for any user category. You can decide which notifications to use for each category and disable any unnecessary ones. This guide introduces the predefined notification templates and explains how to enable or disable notifications.
