Email settings are only available to users with the Admin role within COSMOS. If you are unsure as to the impact of the changes, it is recommended that these settings remain unchanged.
In order for COSMOS to send emails to new users, it is necesary to configure specfic email settings. Whilst these settings are now set as default in COSMOS, some users may need their own settings to enable the sending of email. As of v3.4.0, these settings are provided by default, however customised email settings may be required for some instances.
