Messaging FAQ

How can admins view student messages?

See the Using Moodle discussion How can I see student messages?.

How can messaging be restricted to teachers only?

To limit messaging to specific users, you can change the site:sendmessage capability for the authenticated user role from allow to not set, then create a new role with site:sendmessage allowed and assign this to selected users in the system context. See the Blogger role for a similar case, where blogging is limited to specific users.
