Derek,

Can I have a new member automatically subscribed to a sub group (or
groups) without me or another moderator having to direct add, or
inviting the member?

It depends:

The direct answer is no, if the person joins the primary group there's no mechanism to automatically join them to a subgroup.

However:

When you use Direct Add in the primary group there will checkboxes for the subgroups to include them in.

If you Invite them to a subgroup, and they accept, I think they will automatically be added to the primary group as well.

If they issue a +subscribe email to the subgroup, or click the Join/Request button on its home page, I think also they will automatically be added to the Primary group. I'm not sure about this one, I seem to recall there being cases where they'd get an error about needing to join the primary group first, but I think Mark fixed that. Maybe.

I'm also not exactly sure what happens if the primary group has restricted membership and the subgroup does not. You probably need to approve them before they're added to either (I should hope).

Shal
