# End User UI notifications

Whenever there are changes related to individual users, IDM sends notifications to those users. When they log in to the End User UI, they can find their notifications by clicking the notification [icon: bell, set=fas]button.

Notifications are configured in `notification-event.json` files, as described in [Custom Notifications](../audit-guide/notification-config.html#notification-config-files).

IDM includes a `notifications` endpoint that can help you identify all notifications:

```
curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request GET \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/internal/notification?_queryFilter=true"
```

To list notifications by user ID, include the `_notifications` field in a query on that ID:

```
curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request GET \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/managed/user/e3a9385b-733f-4a1c-891b-c89292b30d70?_fields=_notifications/*"
```

You can filter notifications with any of the properties shown in the following table:

**End User Notification Properties**

| Property           | Description                                      |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `createDate`       | Creation date                                    |
| `notificationType` | Message type: limited to info, warning, or error |
| `message`          | Message seen by the end user                     |

You can get additional information from the activity audit log, in the `audit/activity.audit.json` file, including the following:

* The `userId` who made the change.

* The `runAs` name of the user who made the change.

* If configured in [Fields to Watch](../audit-guide/activity-log-watch-fields.html#audit-watched-fields), any watched fields that have changed.

* If the password was changed, as indicated by the `passwordChanged` property.
