Users have visibility to see alerts when not responders

XMLWordPrintable

    • Severity 3 - Minor

      Issue Summary

      Users have visibility to see alerts in their Alerts tab when they are not a responder on the alert.

      This occurs when they are added as a responder at alert creation. Following - an alert policy applies to the alert and removes/replaces the responder. Users who were a responder at creation, and no longer after the policy is applied, can still view the alert.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a Global Alert policy that removes or replaces the responder(s).
      2. Create an alert. Responder added at creation can be a user. If the responder is a team, then there needs to be members of the team to demonstrate they can view that team's alerts.

      Expected Results

      Users / responders should no longer have visibility into the alert since they are no longer a responder.

      Actual Results

      Users / responders have visibility into the alert even though they are no longer a responder.

      Workaround

      NA

      Findings

      Here is a test to confirm this behavior:



      Other

      This can also be reproduced through an integration. For example; create a test alert like the one above via API, and add a responder to the body.

      Then - have the integration remove any responders at creation. Responders added at creation / removed by integration still would have visibility into seeing this alert even though they are no longer a responder on it:
