Disabling communication when publishing

I have two questions around publishing grades for assessments and exams:
- Will students still be informed grades are published if manually entering grades in the gradebook?
- Is there a way of disabling emails when grades are published to gradebook?
Many thanks, Sue

Hello @Sue.S.4,
Thanks for reaching out via the Brightspace Community!
Super Admins can set your organization’s default notification settings by navigating to Admin Gear > Notifications. Please note that these settings will only apply to new users and will not affect existing users.
If you would like to update the notification options for current users or specific roles, you can do so through the Brightspace API. For your convenience, there is a Postman collection to help non-technical administrators confidently perform this action. To learn more about Postman, please visit the Brightspace Community.
I have attached the community article:

If you have any further questions or concerns, we recommend submitting a support case so we can assist you further.

Thank you. Is this on a user by user basis rather than an academic disabling it for the group? I know under Subject admin, there is no notification setting, even when i change my role to Faculty Administration - only my personal one as a user
