Messenger permissions - restrict the use of messenger on a per group basis

[Hexsplosions]

Re my post here;

I have a use case for this that I cannot believe, for one second, is unique to me. As the permissions stand now, it appears I cannot prevent certain groups from using the messenger. Previously this could be restricted on a per group basis. In my case, I don't want new users having immediate access to the messenger as it's a route for potential abuse and spam. This becomes even more important if a member is banned. Currently they simply re-register and immediately get access to the messenger, even if their forum posting rights are restricted.

Please reintroduce the ability to prevent user groups from accessing the messenger.

Hi,

 

This is possible to do but it's not as intuitive as it could be.

ACP -> System -> Applications -> System Drop Down -> Lock button (permissions) for under "Messages".

It's possible, but I do agree it should really be something that is added to group permissions.

You are a star!

Thanks @CalvinK

It took me at least 45 minutes to find it so don't worry - it really is not in an easy place to find!
