Description

« Hide

Currently with the permissions system as it stands there is no way to limit or block message sending per user.

I would like to see permissions for Messaging added that enable/disable the sending of messages to other roles.

This would allow for blocking, say, student to student messaging. Or to only enable messaging between teachers and teachers..and teachers to tutors, etc.

In dealing with children, there needs also to be the ability to create a role that blocks messaging just for individual students who are abusing the system.

This really does keep coming up at schools in my area. Would love to see it happen. – Art

Amen! Speaking as someone at one of the schools in Art's area, I couldn't agree more. To be able to allow teacher-student and student-teacher email (and block student-student email) would be a wonderful feature for the K-12 crowd.

I would also like to add that this is something that is being asked of here in Swansea as well. Would sort out a lot of problems for us.

Any update on this? This would be a fantastic addition to 1.9.

The problem for destination roles is that the rules are going to be a little complex in general. Roles are assigned per course, not site-wide.

For example, what do you do when someone is a teacher and a student, sending to someone else who is a teacher and a student? All these combination and possibilities need to be laid out in detail and agreed upon before anyone can start work implementing it.

A capability that prevent certain people USING messaging already exists (moodle/site:sendmessage) but it needs to be applied at site level (messaging is a site-level tool).
