Hello,
I just found out that group inboxes are tracked by default and not watched. I thought messages are treated like personal messages and thus, watched by default.
Is there a setting to change the default notification settings for group inboxes? How can I make everyone watching its groups that already got an account?
Thank you!
Robert

Maybe I have found something:

So I could try this one in the rails console to correct already the setting for existing users? Of course, I would need to loop over all relevant groups.
```ruby
group = Group.find_by_name(group_name)
GroupUser.where(group_id: group.id).update_all(notification_level: GroupUser.notification_levels[:level])
```

There is a per user setting which anyone can change at the top right:
ATM there is no way to set a default per group.

There is still no way to default watch a group.
I raised this here:

There are a bunch but I would like to address I can not see on the user card what groups the user is a member of: Mark is a member of the “parents” group but I can not see it. The biggest killer problem I have is that I can not force all the members of my group to watch a category Proposal Add a “visible on card” option for groups that forces th…
Current thinking is that we are open to adding an automatic, optional “welcome to the group” type PM so at least you can teach people about this when you add them to the group.
I think allowing mods to set defaults makes sense, but also agree that “welcome to the group” is a better first step.

이제 가능하다고 생각합니다. 🥳
새 그룹 페이지에서 그룹 생성 시 이 설정을 할 수 있습니다:
또는 `/manage/interaction` 탭에서 업데이트하여 과거 데이터에 적용하거나 새 멤버에게만 적용할 수 있습니다:
