Apply Visibility Checks On Alert Queries tag in Alert processing subsystem

Hi ,

 

I could not understand the use of "Apply Visibility Checks On Alert Queries" in Alert Processing subsystem

What happens if we value is false for an above variable?

Have you tried searching for that feature in the ThingWorx Help Center?

It is properly documented there.

Yes,  I had checked that  description I found it "If set to true, you only see alerts for things to which you have visibility."

 

If this is not enabled /set to false what is the expected behavior. is it like we will see all the alerts of things that are created by other users also? correct me if I am wrong.

Roughly correct. You'll be able to see alerts of things for which you do not have visibility. It's not a matter of ownership (who created that thing) but of visibility, as the description mentions. Visibility is a basic security concept of the ThingWorx platform, and it is explained in detail here. Ownership is also important to understand, and it is described here.
