CUNY Academic Commons

Hi Colin,

it's expected behavior that Notifications > Unread seems to be showing all accepted invites for a Teaching group for which I'm an admin

It's expected that the inviter should receive a notification whenever a user accepts an invite.

Shouldn't it only show accepted invites that I sent

It looks like we have set up an auto-invite to send out whenever a group that is connected to a course is created: https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/14777#note-17 . Since you are the first admin of the "Teaching Courses on the Commons" group, the invite will be sent out from your account: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/caf367e56c776ff5dba26fa8299defa177160f55#diff-e199d5f24d983e8d01b0190e1d59fc65c9cd3659c2841dd6664a47fdd4469f00R2991 . Invitation notifications were a recent addition as a part of the Commons Profile redesign back in v2.2.0. If these notifications are a bother, Colin, perhaps we can look to suppress these auto-invite accept notifications for you.

Hi Ray, thanks for the clarification here. Just making sure I follow -- every time someone sets up a Group (and/or a Site?) with the purpose marked as Teaching, it is identified as a Course and the person who did the setup is automatically invited (I assume if they're not already a member) to the Group called Teaching Courses on the Commons?

Then it shows up in my notifications, because I technically sent the invite as the default or first admin of that Group.

If that's all correct, I don't mind the notifications, but that better explains their origin and why the invites are explained as coming from me. I guess there aren't many other (any?) auto-invites to groups being sent out on the Commons.
