# Change notification settings for a group

You must be an owner of the group, have super privileges in P4 Server (`p4d`), or have admin privileges in `p4d` version 2012.1 or later, to edit group notifications. If you do not have sufficient permissions, P4 Code Review does not display the Notifications tab for the group.

1. Click Groups in the main menu.
2. Click the group you want to edit.
3. Click the group Notifications tab.

- If Group mailing list is Disabled, emails are sent to the group members individual email addresses and only the following notification options are available:
  - Email members when a review is requested: When any member of this group creates a review, this group will be notified.
  - Email members when a change is committed: When a change is committed into Perforce, if the owner of the changelist is a member of this group, this group will be notified.

  When a user commits a changelist in P4 Code Review, it is committed on behalf of the changelist owner. If the changelist owner is a member of this group, this group will be notified.

- If Group mailing list is Enabled notifications are sent to the group email address and additional notifications are available for the group, see group notifications for details.

  When a group mailing list is enabled it overrides the group member's preference set for the notify_self configurable in the `SWARM_ROOT/data/config.php` file. So even when the notify_self configurable is set to false the group member will receive an email notification.

  There is a caveat that if a user is a group member and the same user is added individually to the review and has set the notify_self configurable to true, the user receives two email notifications.

  For more information about notify_self configurable, see notify_self.
