      It should be covered by Behat. However, here there are also some manual tests.

      Before MDL-63279  gets integrated, you can add manually the $CFG->messagingallusers to your config.php for testing it.

      1. Login as admin
      2. Enable 'Enable users to message anyone' ($CFG->messagingallusers) in  'Site Administration | Advanced Features' 
      3. Create 1 new course ('Course 1')
      4. Create 3 new users (user1, user2 and user3) and enrol them on the 'Course 1'
      5. Login as user1
      6. Access to the user3 profile page (from the course participants page) and add him as a contact
      7. Login as user3
      8. Approve the contact request from user1
      9. Login as admin
      10. Unenrol user3 from 'Course 1'

      Testing scenario 1: $CFG->messagingallusers enabled

      1. Login as user1

    Description

      Scope:
      We should allow users to choose who can message them, with a 'growing circle of contactability', if you will, with options for:
      'my contacts only'
      'my contacts and anyone who shares a course with me'
      'anyone on the site' (conditional) see blocker issue.

      This issue will also need to update any associated back end apis and webservices relating to message creation.
