What does this MR do and why?
Organizations may run scheduled pipelines with the creator/author as a service account. In this case, notifications are either 1) not received by anyone or 2) received by the service account's email address when using a custom email address, which may not be monitored at all or not monitored by the directly-responsible individuals.
This change introduces the ability for any team member to subscribe to pipeline notifications specifically for service accounts. This targeted approach provides advantages over the general "Pipeline fails/is fixed/is successful" options by:
- Focusing notifications only on service account-executed pipelines
- Ensuring the right people are informed when service account pipelines require attention
- Maintaining oversight of automated processes without notification overload
This MR was developed in part during co-create initiative with @dblessing
