I’m an admin trying to add users to a group silently – I’m using groups as a sort of email list as I onboard users into beta testing.

So first I add them to a “Onboarding” group which has these settings:

- Group and members can only be seen by Group Owners (me)
- Only admins can mention or message this group

I’m adding the users by dumping a list in the [Add Users flow](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/optimized/3X/f/4/f4e718d60200ce19c237bd95a64b824866fb2d19_2_517x338.png) on the group’s page, with both options **unchecked** including “Notify Users”.

What’s strange is that after adding them all, I get notifications like `_Username accepted your invitation_". They seem to show up for a handful of users, maybe 10-15 when adding hundreds of people to the group.

My question is, why are they being notified at all?

It seems at odds with @joe’s comments here:

> [@Notification when added to a group](https://meta.discourse.org/t/notification-when-added-to-a-group/118626/7):
>
> If you manually add a member to a group, then they neither get a notification on site nor any emails.

and @markvanlan’s post here:

>
> **When this is checked** , a PM will be sent to the user telling them they have been added to the group.

Is this a bug or is there some subtlety to the group adding behavior I’m missing? Thanks!
