Hi thanks for the explanation a few questions:
- what is the frequency for this email notification job? i dont see it at `/sidekiq`
- does the notification also go to users in the administrator role?
- is there a setting to make the notification come faster similar to like `Watching|Tracking|Muted` structure that exists with post notifications?
Thanks!

The job is called `PendingUsersReminder` and runs every hour, but can be delayed according the `pending users reminder delay` site setting.

Only if they also have the moderator role

There is not that I’m aware of. I think you would need to come up with a small plugin to override the [hard-coded frequency](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/4ea21fa2d046518807ec3ebda6fc4d2abe511a55/app/jobs/scheduled/pending_users_reminder.rb#L6) in the `PendingUsersReminder` job.
These were good questions! I’ll be sure to integrate the answers into the OP.
