Allow users with 'Administer users' permission to use their own contact form

Created on 1 July 2021, almost 4 years ago

Problem/Motivation

In #602234: Don't allow admin users to access their own contact form → the ability for admins to access their own contact form was removed. Some felt this was a regression and should be reversed, so that admins could access their own contact form, e.g. for testing purposes.

If this issue lands, the contributors from #602234: Don't allow admin users to access their own contact form → should be credited. This is essentially a continuation of the work there, but that issue was closed due to a combination of factors making it incredibly difficult to navigate or push forward.

Steps to reproduce

Log in as admin user with personal contact forms enabled
See that you can't access your own form

Proposed resolution

Allow users with the 'Administer users' permission to access their own contact form.

The Contact Module was approved for removal in 🌱 [Policy] Move Contact module to contrib Active .

This is Postponed. The status is set according to two policies. The Remove a core extension and move it to a contributed project → and the Extensions approved for removal → policies.

The deprecation work is in 📌 [meta] Tasks to deprecate the Contact module Active and the removal work in 📌 [12.x] [meta] Tasks to remove Contant module Active .

Contact will be moved to a contributed project after the Drupal 12.x branch is open.
