   - Does Usergroup registered have permission to use PMs?

It,s in your AdminCP >> vBulletin Options >> User Registration Options

All the way down to the bottom you will see the following:

Automatic Welcome PM UserID

Enter the User ID of the User you would like to appear as sender of the Welcome PM.
To edit the PM Content, click here, to edit the Subject click here.

In the two click here, you are able to edit the PM Content and the Subject.

Hope this helps.
