Idea: per-space notification defaults set by the owner

Bob Martinez Bob Martinez 3 weeks ago

Right now each member tunes their own notifications. It would help if the space owner could set a sensible default per space — for example, an Announcements space defaults to email-on-every-post.

Members could still override. Would this overstep, or is it a fair owner control?

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.
