How does this template modification work?
This template edit puts a checkbox right to each user. If you click on "Send PMs", the small javascript generates a custom url "private.php?do=newpm&userid[]=1&userid[]=2&userid[]=3" and refreshes actual window with this url. Javascript code is mostly from Quick Links > Open Buddy List.

You can for example only show this mod for moderators, supermoderators and administrators (usergroups 5,7,6). Note that you have to put this condition for any template edit you want to only show to these usergroups.

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(5,6,7))">
here you do put template edits
</if>

Finally, great job.
I tried to get this very same edit to work for me long ago.

I assume this picks up usergroup permissions?

All usergroup permissions are used from vbulletin.

This template edit just puts a checkbox right to each user. If you click on "Send PMs", the small javascript just generates a custom url "private.php?do=newpm&userid[]=1&userid[]=2&userid[]=3" and refreshes actual window with this url. Nothing special here, javascript code is mostly from Quick Links > Open Buddy List.

Incorporate this into it.

<td class="thead" align="right"><input type="checkbox" name="allbox" title="Check All" onclick="js_check_all(this.form);" />Check All</td>
