Disable messenger per group

[Peter Parker]

Hi,

I am just wondering if there is still an option to disable private messenger per user group? I know there used to be a way to do this with one click in IPB 3.x series, but in the latest version I cannot find how to disable the private messenger for a whole user group, other than setting limits to zero for per messages sent. Thanks

That can be done, yes.

Go to ACP -> Applications -> expand the "System" category header -> click the padlock icon (permissions) to the far right of "Messages".

You need to deselect any Group which you do not want able to use the messenger, and save.

Those deselected groups won't even see the messenger icon in the header (nor will they be able to get to it with a direct URL).

Excellent, thank you! A lot has changed in IPB4 and I haven't had time to catch up completely. Thanks for showing me that.
