How can admins view student messages?
See the Using Moodle discussion How can I see student messages?.
How can messaging be restricted?
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.
Alternatively, you could create a "Cannot send messages" role with site:sendmessage set to 'prohibit' and then assign this role in the system context to anyone using messaging inappropriately.
How can messaging be disabled completely?
Messaging may be disabled site-wide by unchecking the messaging checkbox in Administration > Security > Site policies.
How can the messages window pop-up be disabled?
- In your profile, click the blue Messaging link
- Choose to have instant messages sent to your email or Jabber account when you are online instead of a pop up.
When are messages sent via email?
To enable messages to be sent via email, a user should select "email" in the Messaging setting of their profile for instant messages. They can select whether to have emails sent when online or offline or both.
