Personal message only certain users

Support
1

I’m building a community and would like to allow only private messages from certain groups only to admins/moderators, for examples users in group 1 can only message moderators & admins, not other users in group 1. Is this possible?

I’m trying to turn the messages feature into a support feature, basically.

Thanks in advance

Have a look at GitHub - pfaffman/discourse-allow-pm-to-staff: Allow private messages to be sent to staff for users who could otherwise not send private messages. · GitHub

It allows all users to pm staff.

If you want it only for some groups it’ll need some changes, I think.

Actually, if you set the group setting who can message this group to ‘everyone’ it supersedes the personal message allowed group settting.

So if you set up a group called eg. @support you can have everyone allowed to send it a PM even if they cant send PMs to anyone else.

Aha! I wasn’t paying attention to that and think I modified my plugin after that change got made. I may need to take a look at that again.

Yep I managed to get that working, thanks to both!!
