User role where user does not receive emails from forum posts in 2.2

We are using Moodle 2.2 and we're trying to find a way to set up a user role, in particular a non-editing teacher role, so that the user won’t receive email notifications from posts in forums that they are enrolled on.

Our Additional Learning Support staff are enrolled as non-editing teachers in many courses, due to the cross-college nature of their job, but are bombarded with unwanted emails from forum discussions.

Is there a setting in 2.2 which would 'switch off' the forum emails from this role?

Hi Adrienne,

An easy way to stop forum emails is for your Additional Learning Support staff to untick email notifications of forum posts in their messaging settings (Settings > My profile > Messaging). See the documentation Messaging settings for more details.
