# Local administrative account management events

PingFederate generates a variety of email notifications for local administrative account management events.

Notification for account management events is configurable from **System > Server** in the **Administrative Accounts**window.

|   | Account management events are only applicable when native authentication is enabled for the administrative console, the administrative API, or both in the `<pf_install>/pingfederate/bin/run.properties` file. If you are using an alternative console authentication, notifications, if any, such as password changes, are handled by the third-party system. |
