  5. Assign the email_api_send role to the non-admin user.
  6. Verify the non-admin user either has read access to all records in the notification target table or has read access to a specific record in the table.
    For example, to work with incident notifications the non-admin user needs access to the Incident table. You can provide record access by:
    • Granting the user an appropriate role, such as the itil role.
    • Selecting a specific incident that was opened on behalf of the user.
