Hello, On our forum, as an admin I would like to be able to turn off email notifications for certain forum users. However, I cannot seem to find out how this is done. Can someone help me with this?

Hello and welcome @jess_houzy :slight_smile: As an admin you could go to a user’s Preferences/Emails page and change the options in there to ‘never’: [image] Would this suit your needs?

Piggybacking off of this, is there a global setting to change notifications so that all users only receive a daily digest instead of receiving an email with every post? And if so, would this change all existing user settings as well as new users?

It is achievable, You’ll have to set the email preferences accordingly and set the summary email frequency to daily.

When you change the site settings that configure the default preferences of users, you can choose to apply the change to existing users. So, if you, for example, change the default email messages level site setting to disable emails about replies, topics they are watching and @mentions by default, you will see something like: [image]
