## About the Alert configuration area

To monitor alert definitions, you can use the data search to access the [devo.audit.alert.definition](https://docs.devo.com/space/latest/95206409/Alerts+monitoring#devo.audit.alert.definition) data table. All alert definitions are registered in this table upon creation, as well as any subsequent changes they undergo.

To manage alert definitions, users with the necessary administrative permissions can perform the tasks shown below with existing alerts. All of these tasks are carried out in the **Available Alerts** tab of the **Administration → Alert Configuration** area.> Macro (anchor)

## What permissions do I need?

To access the **Administration** → **Alert Configuration** area you need to have a role with the *Manage* version of the *Alert configuration* permission. If you only have the *View* version of this permission, you will not be able to perform any task here (more info about permissions [here](https://devodocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/latest/pages/94763681)).

Additionally, you need to have alerts assigned (see [Assign resources to a role](https://devodocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/latest/pages/94763463)). You will only see alert definitions for those alerts assigned and allowing only the interaction level specified for them. In other words, the permissions grants theoretical access to alerts while assigning a specific alert grants the actual access.
