At least twice we’ve had members join upon invitation from admins without specifying that the invite includes a group membership, only to have them gain the membership immediately upon signing up. Is there some setting I’m not aware of that could be playing into this behavior? Thanks in advance.

Are you running latest? If I remember correctly we changed behavior around this recently.

Are these invites are sent from /my/invited, or somewhere else? The only other “auto add to group” feature that I can think of is the email domain option within group settings: [image]

I’ve been trying to repro this, no luck so far. Let me make sure I’m mirroring your config as closely as I can: This category is reply/see to everyone, and create/reply/see to a single group (let’s call it foo)?
