How do I control whom disabled threat feed emails are sent to?

Question & Answer


Question

If we face a problem with our IBM Resilient threat feeds how do I control whom is sent an email notifying them of the shut off?

Cause

If there is a problem with a threat feed, for example, a license issue affecting IBM X-Force Exchange emails are sent to IBM Resilient users making them aware of the shut off. An example of entries written to /usr/share/co3/client.log is as follows.
20:42:21.600 [Co3Scheduler_Worker-1] ERROR com.co3.threat.Co3ThreatFeed - Disabling SOC's threat feed IBM X-Force Exchange due to missing or invalid license.
20:42:21.613 [Co3Scheduler_Worker-1] INFO com.co3.threat.ThreatServiceBase - ThreatFeed shutoff email has been sent to resilient.api@domain.com
20:42:21.632 [Co3Scheduler_Worker-1] INFO com.co3.threat.ThreatServiceBase - ThreatFeed shutoff email has been sent to resilient.admin@domain.com
20:42:21.638 [Co3Scheduler_Worker-1] INFO com.co3.threat.ThreatServiceBase - ThreatFeed shutoff email has been sent to ben.williams@domain.com

Answer

The permission "Ability to view and modify:" taken from Administrator Settings - Roles determines who is sent the shut off email.
Shut off emails are sent to deactivated users.
