I just tested this out to see how it works. When a staged user is added to a group, they will get notifications about group messages, but by default, they won’t get notifications about posts and topics in private categories that the group has access to. If you edit the staged user’s preferences to watch the protected category, they will start getting notifications about topics and posts in the protected category.
