User's Notifications: Default Subscriptions?

Greetings,

 

I have been modifying email notification subscriptions on behalf of users at request but I am not aware of what controls the default initial subscriptions offered to the user? Of course they can select + Subscribe to a new notification, but what table manages the default/base offered? I've tried toying with groups and roles, looking at the the Email Notifications table but can't seem to make the correlation. Couldn't find much on the wiki for this and I appreciate any information.

Notifications are defined in Email Notifications [sysevent_email_action] table. The ones that have Subscribable = true are available for subscription. Besides, when a user receives a certain notification for the first time, its appears in their subscriptions and can then be changed from there. Subscriptions are stored in Notification Messages [cmn_notif_message] table. If you want to subscribe your users to certain notifications by default, you can write a business rule that will create the necessary entries in Notification Messages table when a User record is inserted. To subscribe existing users, use a scheduled job or a background script.
