What sends the email messages for Workflow Approval notifications in NIOS?

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth

Workflow Approval notifications:

A: The Grid Master (GM) sends emails via its configured SMTP settings (Grid > Grid Properties >

Email), as it manages Grid-wide tasks. Correct.

B: GMC is a standby, not active unless promoted—doesn’t send emails. Incorrect.

C: Only GM sends, not both—GMC is passive. Incorrect.

D: SuperAdmin is a role, not a process—no sending capability. Incorrect.

Practical Example: In an INE lab, configure SMTP on the GM, test approval emails, and troubleshoot

delivery from GM logs.
