Our company uses groups in Gitlab to organize our hundreds of projects and repos by client. To achieve this, we have a cron job that automatically adds all employees to have access to all groups so projects can be added and moved around as needed.
The problem is that when the job adds a user to a group, it sends an email notification. If a new user signs into our system, they get flooded with 20 emails for every individual group they got added to. Is there any good way to disable these group notifications so emails don’t get sent out?
@Ascend , wondering if you ever found a working process for this? We have 20(or so) groups and want to add all users to the groups on first login. The plan was to run gitlab:import:all_users_to_all_groups periodically to update any new users - but the email burst is problematic.
Unfortunately no, and in fact the period sync we had in place previously broke completely over the past few years and we just left it broken, and instead manually add users to groups and projects instead now.
@Ascend select Your avatar ( top right corner after you log in to GitLab ) > Preferences > Notifications. You have all the controls of notifs and you can play with these. Try.
