    1. Navigate to All > Vulnerability Response > Administration > Email Templates.
    2. Select New.

    Result

    Starting from v21.0 of Vulnerability Response, when a recipient clicks the links in an email notification, the links open in the Vulnerability Manager Workspace or IT Remediation Workspace based on their role.

    • Links open in the Vulnerability Manager Workspace for the users with the roles, sn_vul.vulnerability_analyst or sn_vul.vulnerability_admin.
    • Links open in the IT Remediation Workspace for the users with the role, sn_vul.remediation_owner.

    If the recipient doesn’t have any of the preceding roles, the links in an email notification open in the classic UI.
