If users can request membership in a group, and their request is approved, they’ll get a notification on the site, but no email.

We only send an email to the person(s) - group owners - approving the requests when the user creates it. The creator of the request never gets any emails.

If you manually add a member to a group, then they neither get a notification on site nor any emails.
