I do not think that this will create any security issues if users do not have access to the email notifiication templates and the javascript console.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 06 Aug 2014 10:19:21 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/alfrescoassignment-and-email-notifications/m-p/292027#M245157 marco_altieri 2014-08-06T10:19:21Z
