Which things triggers admin email notifications?

    I remember WordPress 3.5 had a separate admin email in Dashboard that is different from user emails (maybe that is only for multi-domain installs), but that appears to not be there in 4.0, and the admin user is the one that gets automatic notifications when a user is created or whatever, but I’m not sure which notifications will get sent when various things happen.

    My boss wants me to put a general webmaster email in the admin user, which forwards to myself and two other people, but not everybody has the password (giving everyone the password is not an option at this point). I couldn’t find a list which specifies what triggers WordPress to send a notification to the admin email, so is there a page that shows that or can you show me a list?

    I’m assuming the Super Admin role is only distinguished on a Network site? It’s not really clear if that is rolled into the Admin role on a one-domain install or if that section for the Dashboard user email (as opposed to the user admin email) is hidden somewhere else I’m not seeing.

    I’m also not seeing where it mentions anything about who gets emailed which auto-notifications based on events, such as a new user being created (which I already know emails the primary admin, which is the user whose email I need to change, or any other sort of other auto-generated email.

    The reason that’s important is because we want to put an email in there that shares to multiple people that do not all have the password, and I’m concerned they may getting too much information.
