Controlling Availability of Message Event Types for District Users

No Messages are available to users by default.  Access to all messages is controlled on the Setup→SF Messaging→Events screen.  Each Event has to have its security configured in order to be available to users (all Events are installed in the system, configuring security enables them for actual use).
