Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted March 28, 20168 yr 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
March 28, 20168 yr Group setting - Social Conversations allowed to start per day Conversations allowed to start per minute Maximum recipients per conversation Conversation storage quota

March 28, 20168 yr 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.

March 28, 20168 yr If you wan them to receive PMs, from other members, mods, admin, you need it on. Up to you.

March 28, 20168 yr 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.

March 28, 20168 yr 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.

OH your'e right! I just checked back and 0 has reverted back to unlimited it says the value must be larger than 1
