What actually happens is; When a user selects a role, He/She is subcribed to the listen to notifications for the permissions in that role. For example, if a user has a role called Admin and Admin has permissions New Savings Account Approved, then when ever a new Savings account is created a notification will be sent to that user because Creating a new saving emitts events to notify any user have permissions to approve a new savings account > > 3) Related to that last point, where does all the work that you did around > subscriber groups come into play?

I will create a detailed documentation explain the notification framework and how to configure it.
