Great… I’ll be using this new feature to add all categories as Watched.. It’s a far better user experience then Mailing list mode, and the [unwatch this topic links](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-there-a-way-to-unwatch-a-topic-with-a-link/27505) in the emails are just fantastic.

I assume that people are likely to look at their profile & unwatch topics they don’t have permission to see. They may also wonder why they don’t have that permission. For that reason I have [this request](https://meta.discourse.org/t/make-members-of-a-group-watch-a-category-by-default/22127/24) to make being added to a group auto-watch categories.
