Known limitations
If a user has the permission to edit a dataset, but that was set on the security tab of the dataset but not on the global permission "Edit all datasets," they won't receive daily reports with the summary of all the datasets with an error.
It's not possible to unsubscribe from distributed content notifications when you distribute pages or datasets to secondary workspaces.
There are no email notifications sent about harvester errors.
