Description

Provide a permission that prevents the user from receiving direct messages, so that only conversations initiated by the user can occur in this way.

Example: the user "Carlos Alberto" is the president of the company.
The only way to communicate through direct messages with him, is through a conversation initiated by the "Carlos Alberto" himself.
