      There is a need to enable/disable group messaging in bulk in large courses with a big number of groups. Having 100+ groups in a course it would be challenging for academics to iterate through the list of groups and enable/disable group messaging one by one.

      As a potential solution it could be new buttons Enable group messaging and Disable group messaging added to the group/index.php?id=123456 page that would behave same way as Delete selected groups (users could select more than one group or even all groups usign ctrl + A and then hit the button).

      Another side note is UI/UX of this page. Currently, there are 5 buttons stacked on each other. If we add two more there will be 7 so maybe we could add a dropdown element called With selected... then the dropdown... and then Go (like we have in mod/assign/view.php to lock, unlock, download submissions etc). Delete groups , Enable group messaging and Disable group messaging could go into this dropdown.
