Is there a way to restrict who (based on registered user roles) can send messages, and if not, I’d like to request this feature.
Here is what I am looking for.
I am making a job board and I am using the “message” function to allow applicants to send their application. It’s not ideal but it will do. This means people who register on the site as “applicants” should be able to message the vendor that posted the job. However, I want to prevent people who register on the site as “job posters” from being able to message job seekers willy nilly whenever they want for any reason - at least, it should be set so that job posters can only message job seekers after they post a job, and not before, to reduce random chit chat. The same for job seekers - they should not be able to message other job seekers, or employers that have a profile but no job listings.
Thank you
