Answers.Text: Ok thank you.
  
  Additional question. Will the notification only work when the entry is saved/updated as a live/enabled entry?

  The dynamic object passed to a Notification Event depends on which Event is being triggered. In your case, the "When a user is saved" event has access to the [User Model](https://docs.craftcms.com/api/v3/craft-elements-user.html).
  
  All of the attributes you are trying to access are on that User Model and are directly associated with the model itself:
  
  ```
  {firstName}
  {lastName}
  {email}
  
  {{ object.firstName }}
  {{ object.LastName }}
  {{ object.email }}
  
  ```
  
  In your example, you are trying to access the attribute `author`. However, `author` is an attribute from the [Entry Model](https://docs.craftcms.com/api/v3/craft-elements-entry.html#property-author). The Entry Model is available to the "When an entry is saved" event and other Entry-specific events.
