Opsgenie Team
Environment
Jira Service Management merged/bundled with Opsgenie
Cause
The cause of this issue is that the user in question's license for Jira Service Management has been removed. As when you purchase Jira Service Management you also get Opsgenie for free, and since User Management and Billing are tied together for merged JSM/OG instances, when a JSM license is removed, so is the Opsgenie access. Because of this they also receive this notification email as the access was revoked for Opsgenie. Unfortunately, this is not configurable as well, but there are a few feature requests relating to this enhancement to the Product.
Workaround
As a workaround, the Users receiving the emails can create an email filter in the Email Inbox to reduce the "chatiness" of these emails, when access is revoked for Opsgenie.
