The Basics
- Nextcloud Server version (e.g., 29.x.x):
- Nextcloud Hub 10 (31.0.8)
- Nextcloud AIO 11.6.0
- Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04):
- Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
- Web server and version (e.g, Apache 2.4.25):
- Docker container in Nextcloud AIO 11.6.0
- Reverse proxy and version _(e.g. nginx 1.27.2)
- Docker container in Nextcloud AIO 11.6.0
- PHP version (e.g, 8.3):
- Docker container in Nextcloud AIO 11.6.0
- Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No):
- No
- When did this problem seem to first start?
- Always present
- Installation method (e.g. AlO, NCP, Bare Metal/Archive, etc.)
- AIO
- Are you using CloudfIare, mod_security, or similar? (Yes / No)
- No
Summary of the issue you are facing:
notification about success/failure of planned backup set in nextcloud-aio master container are sent to Admin user/groups
is there any possibility to receive such notifications as normal (non admin) user ?
For obvious reasons I use my standard user account on a daily basis (not the admin) and I would like to receive the notifications about backup tasks, without the struggle to login with my admin account.
Maybe there is a way to do it, that either I don’t know or not able to find around.
If not possible could be a nice to have feature.
Note: mail and/notifications/any other trick inputs are all welcome 
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
- access to AIO master container configuration
- enable Daily backup and automatic updates
- when a backup is executed, Admins are getting push notification about it
