Publish Alerts
After filling in all the required details for an alert in the alert creation form, only analysts with publisher permissions can preview and publish the alert. If you are not a publisher, you can submit the alert for review. For more information about user roles in the Analyst Portal, see Role-Based Access Control.
As a publisher, you can perform the following actions:
Create and publish alerts
Review and publish alerts submitted by creators
Before you Start
Ensure that you have permission to review and publish submitted alerts.
