kar3n2 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I would like to restrict my basic member group from sending any pms. Is this possible at all? It might be good though that admin can send them a pm and they can respond to that only. Thanks if you can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilihead Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 On 4.1.9 it's under Profiles before Reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyF Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 That's odd it should show there between Profiles and Reputation. Have you disabled the messenger completely for this group ? One quick check: System > Site Features > Applications > Click 'System' in the listing to expand it. Find 'Messages' in the expanded list. Click the 'padlock' icon on the right of Messages to see its permissions. Just ensure that this "Basic Member" group does have permission to use the messenger as if this is disabled here its likely to not show at all for that group when you edit its group settings.

chilihead Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 If you want them to only receive admin PMs Conversation storage quota: 0 Then for admin: Override recipients' storage quota? OnIf enabled, members in this group will be able to send messages to other members even if the recipient has reached their maximum number of stored messages. Yes, they can reply, as the conversation was started already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilihead Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Strangely 0 is not saving, it must be the number 1, I am going to bring that up in the tracker as you need to be able to set to 0 for some of these, like for members to receive but not send, and to restrict to admin, as posted.

Gravi5tar Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I'd like this too, v3 had a hook to achieve the same but it hasn't been updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
