Email Notifications in OrangeAccess

Email Notifications in OrangeAccess

OrangeAccess sends automated email notifications to keep you informed about your access requests. Notifications are sent when you submit a request, when it is approved or denied, and when access is removed.


Who Sends the Emails?

All OrangeAccess notifications come from:

Orange Access orangeaccess@syr.edu

Add this address to your Safe Senders list to ensure you always receive these emails.


What Types of Emails Will I Receive?

  • Request submitted – Confirmation that your request was received.

  • Approval needed – Sent to managers or application/data owners when a request requires their review.

  • Request approved or denied – Updates on the outcome of your request.

  • Access removed – Confirmation when access has been revoked.

Viewing Images in Outlook/Exchange

By default, Outlook does not display images in messages from new senders. When you first receive an email from OrangeAccess, you may see an informational banner at the top:

“Click here to download pictures…”

To ensure emails display correctly in the future:

  1. Click Download Pictures.

  2. Select Add Sender to Safe Senders List.

Tip: Adding orangeaccess@syr.edu to your Safe Senders list not only displays images automatically but also helps prevent OrangeAccess emails from being sent to Junk/Spam.
