Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is not a problem per se, but I have collected two UX improvements from our Netbird users, and one from myself.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. Netbird users reported they would like to receive a notification whenever their session expires. Now, they will have to manually check sometimes. This would avoid confusion in some cases.
  2. Also, it seems that new network routes that are added are not automatically activated in their network route list. For me as the admin, it does activate automatically. Is this intended behaviour? I would like for my team to not have to worry about it too much.
  3. Now for myself, is it possible that an admin can receive an email notification whenever a new user is added to Netbird which needs peer approval?

Thank you!

It should already be working. Can you check whether /var/lib/state.json contains "select_all":true? It should be true util somebody deselects any network for the first time, see https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/3611

Confirmed working! But, the "select_all" variable will not be immediately visible for everyone. It will only show up when you press "Select all" in the network route list at least one time. Thank you.

it should be fine if missing, as long as it's not false
