Admins get post notification for groups they aren't in?

Hi,

We have a course for staff inductions. Every new employee is enrolled, in batches, every few weeks.
Each batch is put into a new group, named based on their commencement date.
This allows HR to create a forum post within the course assigned only to the new employee batch group. 
This post explains what the course is for and that it needs to be completed etc. and an email is sent to those newly enrolled.

What is unclear is some of us admins are receiving the new posts every time, even though we are not in that forum posts assigned group.
Should admins receive all notifications within a course even though they are not in the group of members?
We would like to know if this is by design as it is a little confusing to new staff that they are being asked to do another induction or think they didn't finish it.


There is a new post each time new employees commence.
Admins not enrolled are not getting the email. 
The users ids from the send messages part of cron log I have checked are either group members or enrolled admins.

This is on Moodle 2.9.4.


Thanks
