Subgroup delivery preferences inheritance by default #direct-add #settings #subgroups

 

I've ping-ponged between the owner and user guides and I think the answer is "No", but I'm not 100% sure...?
?
Desired behavior:? Once an individual user's delivery preferences for main have been set, any subgroup they join after that point will automatically inherit that same delivery preference.? ?This is at the user level, not Admin -> Membership -> Defaults for the whole group itself.??
?
Usecase:
  • An easily confused elderly user base who have demonstrated difficulty doing anything beyond sending email
  • Users always want the same setting everywhere?
  • The admin for Main creates the user's account via a direct add with no subgroups included
  • All subgroup joins after the direct-add are self service using the "join" button and do not require moderator approval
  • Don't want the added burden on the group moderators of constantly having to validate/tweak someone's delivery preferences for them whenever someone new joins their subgroup
Thanks!

The answer is No as you suspected. Each subgroup operates almost as a stand alone group and new joiners will take the defaults set for that rather than those of the main/parent group.?

Thanks Andy. I'll layout an enhancement proposal for this functionality and submit it to Beta this evening.
