# Manage Alerts Across Verkada Products

Alerts notify you of important events from your organization. This allows you to shift from reactive to proactive monitoring.

The [Alerts](https://command.verkada.com/alerts/device-events) page lets users view their subscribed alerts to easily find important events and relevant footage. You can set up alerts for events across the cameras, intercom, [access control](https://app.gitbook.com/s/aaHs5RfKqv9Z49mi02cC/integrations-and-alerts/configure-access-control-event-alerts), [alarms](https://app.gitbook.com/s/9tIFgMOGbY4p9wWaKQhl/events-and-alerts/configure-alarms-event-alerts), [gateway](https://app.gitbook.com/s/iAGnzScvko5PkG7YBy3i/events-and-alerts/configure-gateway-status-alerts), and [air quality](https://app.gitbook.com/s/JtgmyWYlTEX9DpjvBwTL/events-and-alerts/configure-air-quality-event-alerts) product lines.

## Manage editors

You can add editors to an alert you create so other admins can also view and manage the alert. Editors can view, modify, or delete the alert from the [**Manage Alerts**](https://command.verkada.com/admin/manage-alerts) page.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**On the Command homepage, left navigation, Alerts.**
{% endstep %}

c. Select **Manage Editors**.\
d. Add or remove users or groups as needed.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Editors are **not** added as alert [recipients](https://help.verkada.com/command/organization-settings/create-alerts-across-verkada-products) by default. This means editors can not see the events on their Alerts page and will not receive notifications for alerts unless they are also added as alert recipients.
{% endhint %}
