It’s under Preferences → Users at bottom.

To prevent users from sending messages to the admin user, use the setting at {your.forum}/u/admin/preferences/users, which merefield mentioned. Staff can always send messages to users, so test with a regular user account.

You can hide this with CSS.
Or, I think you could also remove this by increasing the minimum TL required for sending PMs (since there will be quite a few buttons you’ll need to hide).
