Questions regarding Subscribers
1. Is there a permission available where a Role can only subscribe themselves to Work Items and not subscribe others? We have an issue where users are subscribing Lead Developers on a lot of work items they don't really need to be subscribed to.
2. When someone creates a work item they automatically get added as a subscriber. Is there a way to turn this off? Seems redundant as they'll already be notified as the Creator of the Work Item. |

Being able to subscribe someone else is usually an important way to have
the appropriate people notified. If someone is misusing that feature, I would recommend training them on its proper use, rather than disallowing all use of the feature. WRT being both a creator and a subscriber, many people configure their email notification to get email for things they subscribe to but not email to things they've created (since you can control the former but not the latter). Automatically adding you as a subscriber to something you've created produces the commonly desired behavior (and if you do ask for email for everything you've created, it does no harm).
