Just to confirm I’m not missing anything:

Is there any way to specify default digest settings based upon group membership? In other words, just as receiving membership in a group sets certain defaults for categories to watched, muted, etc., is there anything that would do the same for digest/activity summary settings? (e.g. 7 days vs never)

As of on today, we have setting to pick categories and topic to be there in digest emails. But a user might have muted some, but still might receive them in the digest emails.

There is no way to do that through the Discourse user interface. It could be accomplished through the Rails console. You’d need to update the `UserOption` properties that are related to the digest email for the group members. The `digest_after_minutes` property is probably the main one you’d want to update.
