Nope @erlend_sh sure can’t do recursive yet.. and wow would Iike to see that.. [here’s a thread on the matter.](https://meta.discourse.org/t/make-members-of-a-group-watch-a-category-by-default/22127)

One more note for the OP

@adierteschik - it’s OK to have everyone in a discourse watch a given category.. they’ll only get emails (or see it at all) if they are in a group that gives them permission to access it.

With that, I think this topic can be closed.
