I would like to use the member directory to display 'consultants' that one can send a message to.
But if you do that, you can also send a message to 'all in the group' or 'all users' or other users that are not listed in the member directory. Just by adding another person/group in the 'to' field of the interface.

There are 2 reasons why you don't want that:

if someone is not in the group, it should not be able to send messages to him/her
after typing 2 characters the autosuggest kicks in and you are able to view all users. Which is not desirable for privacy reasons.

So, is there a way to limit that?

Assuming the features are not built in and no one offers a non-code solution... Unless there is additional complexity here that I don't see, this seems like it would be much easier to implement with a custom mini-app in 2sxc or Open Content?
