Symptom
- Newly synchronized users do not have email notification preferences enabled by default.
- For affected users, all notification preference checkboxes appear unchecked and do not follow the expected default email notification settings.
Environment
SAP Jam Collaboration
Reproducing the Issue
- Synchronize a new user from the source system to SAP Jam without a valid email address (for example, with an empty or placeholder email).
- Access the user’s notification preferences in SAP Jam.
- Observe that all email notification options are unchecked instead of using the expected defaults.
Cause
This is expected behavior.
SAP Jam has a built-in rule that automatically unsubscribes users from all email notifications when they are synchronized without a valid email address.
As a result, all email notification preference checkboxes are automatically unchecked for these users.
Resolution
To prevent users from being synchronized with all notification preferences unchecked, ensure that a valid email address is maintained for the user in the source system (BizX) before the user is synchronized to SAP Jam.
For users who have already been affected:
- Sign in to SAP Jam with appropriate administrator privileges or proxy as the affected user.
- Open the user's Notification Preferences page.
- Manually re-enable the required email notification options.
Important: Updating the user's email address to a valid value after the synchronization does not automatically re-enable email notifications. Once a user has been synchronized without a valid email address and has been automatically unsubscribed, the notification preferences must be manually re-enabled.
