Notifications should be tied to Group Access settings

We have had issues coordinating our group page access for academic classes with Notifications. We populate the rosters ahead of time, but restrict access to only the class teacher and academic group manager. But if the teacher posts an announcement, news story or assignment, and forgets to uncheck 'send notification' then the parents get notified that "Mrs. so-and-so posted an announcement to her class page." What this means is the notifications are circumventing our wish to keep class rosters hidden. We have asked teachers to uncheck that box, but they don't always remember.

So, here is our enhancement request: Notifications should be tied to the Group Page Access settings. If we have access purposely turned off for a certain role, those role members should NOT receive a notification until access is granted.

Thanks!

    This looks like an old request, but we have the same issue.  It is also confusing because if the users who get the notice attempt to visit the page they can't which causes additional confusion.
