User accounts have settings that can be set specifically for that account.

Notifications
Notifications are emails that are regularly sent to the email address associated with your user account. These notifications typically provide a high-level overview of a given area of Breeze. They are intentionally limited in how much they're able to be customized, focusing instead on being easy to set up and use.
To enable notifications:
- Navigate to the "Account Settings" () on the top right.
- From the drop-down, select "Notifications."
- Select the checkbox for notifications you'd like to receive and click "Update."

1While notifications are limited in their degree of customization (e.g. the youth pastor cannot elect to only receive birthday notifications for students), churches can work around this by using a separate user account. Because notifications do honor the permissions a user has, a church could create a separate user that, sticking with the same example, only had permission to view people within the "Youth Group" tag. A notification could then be set up on that user account which would achieve the desired filter.
