Can I receive the notifications that would normally go to another user?

There’s no built in feature to do exactly what you’re asking for here, so let’s first explore “creative solutions” territory.

First, a question about this:

Are you hoping to allow them to continue participating in the community using the same account? Or will it be required that they create a new account if they wish to do so?

If you’ll be “owning” their existing account and require them to create a new one, then you control the email associated with the account. In that case, one approach here is to use an email based strategy – you could change the email address associated with their account to one you control and have email notifications from Discourse forwarded to a group that is responsible for your community.

I can imagine other similar creative solutions, but would need to tinker or explore more to validate whether they are doable today – for example, using Discourse Automation to pipe things into a chat channel your team can see, or something like that.
