This procedure adds a SMTP server at a hierarchy level. 


**Prerequisites**:

* Enable email in the Global Settings (Email tab). 


**Perform these steps**:

1. Log in to the Admin Portal. 
2. Choose the relevant hierarchy. 

   .. note:: 
      
      Configure the SMTP server at the hierarchy where you want to allow VOSS Automate to 
      send email messages. 
      
      You may only set up one SMTP server at each hierarchy level. The SMTP server 
      will be available at the current hierarchy and below. For example, 
      for a SMTP set up at a specific customer, the sites below that customer can 
      use that SMTP server. 

3. Go to **SMTP Server**. 
4. Click the Plus icon (+) to add a new SMTP server. 
5. On the **SMTP Server** page, fill out details for the new SMTP server:

                         server.
