Sending PM (mailbox) based on user groups

Featured Replies

  • Community Expert

Hello,

I would like to know if I can use the personal messages on the side (mailbox) to send messages to the specific user groups as an admin.

I don't want any user groups to send messages to other users .I just want the admin to be able to send messages, no other user groups. In the past many users used PM to spam others.

So my question is:

Could the PM system be configured so that admins can send personal messages to any user, but prevent users from sending messages to any user groups except admins?

I would love to communicate with my members using the PM system, send them notifications, etc, but I don't want them to spawn others.

Is that possible? If so, how?

Thanks

There isnt a way in which to do this currently, unfortunately. While it wont solve the issue of users sending you messages, you can however use the alert system to get information to a group of people if needed. You can find that in the modCP

Yes I am doing that now. I only wanted to know if the PM system could use the same user group permissiond. If the user group permission was integrated with PM, it would be easy..

In the past, spammers used the PM to sell things to members using PM, so I had to disable PM, but if user groups were integrated, it would be easy.

Thanks
