When you send the comment, we verify whether all @mentioned users have permission to edit the list item. If someone lacks permission, we show you a Grant Access dialog box listing people who need permissions. You can choose to share the list item and notify these people.
When all @mentioned users have permissions, notifications about the comment are sent. If someone is mentioned multiple times on an item, we group the notifications to minimize the number of email messages sent.
