I know it is possible to mute user DMs > [@Personal message (PM/"DM") permissions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/personal-message-pm-dm-permissions/270178/2): > > Most of what you’re requesting can already be achieved on the /my/preferences/users page. If someone doesn’t want people to be able to send the DMs, they can: Disable the allow other users to send personal messages and chat direct messages setting or create an allow list by enabling only allow specific users to send me personal messages or chat direct messages FWIW, that page has other useful options so it is a good idea to direct your community to the users tab on their profile to … but the same functionality doesn’t seem to exist for group DMs. I understand it is possible to leave a group and so no longer receive DMs. This seems a blunt tool. Use case: we have a group we use for private help requests that users can DM. We have a help triage group that are rostered on for a week at a time to deal with these requests and find someone who can assist. During the off-time it would be good if they could simply mute the group DMs for a time period until their next rostered on week. It looks like this functionality exists for muting users, but not groups. Am I missing something? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/mute-dms-from-a-group/378514)._
