Group membership vs. group permissions

Hi all,

I am pretty sure I know the answer to this, but permissions make my head hurt so I want to confirm my understanding before I move ahead:

We are launching a group for partners. I'd like all PARTNERS to be members so that:

  • I can @mention partners to reach them.
  • Partners are automatically subscribed to forums and blogs (we have set up the latter automation based on membership)

I want all EMPLOYEES to have access to the group in the same way that partners do.

  • But I don't want them to have auto subscriptions to forums and blogs.
  • I don't want them included in the @mention.

To accomplish this, here's what I'm thinking:

  • Partners will be group members
  • Employees will NOT be group members. I simply need to adjust permissions for the employee role so that it matches group member permissions.

Am I correct? Will that do it?
