Administer site configuration permission is required to access privatemsg

Path: /user/3/messages
It looks like you are trying to view a specific users messages and that would require Administrator access unless you are currently logged in as user 3.

Instead try browsing to just www.yoursite.com/messages(obviously replacing yoursite with your domain)? That should eliminate the need for Administrator access and attempt only access to the logged in users messages.

I was expecting that too, but no. I logged in as a "normal" authenticated user (uid 3) and "Messages" menu link not visible
Only by admin, so I saw that access error only as user 3 or another "normal" user
Meanwhile I did a new fresh D10 install and privatemsg - exactly the same error and missing Messages link in my account
Thanks

@joshua-jake, I think you are right

@quchidru what do you mean "missing Messages link in my account" ?

I think I understand where some of @quchidru's confusion is coming from. The Admin user has a tab on the users view page that says "Messages" that comes from the all_privatemsg_thread view in the All messages another user display.

This display does require Administer site configuration to view and the path is - /user/%user/messages. And this is where his original error/complain is coming from because it's the only link he has found on the user interface to access the messages.

The All messages Display of the same view is what the end user should be viewing instead with the path of /messages and this only requires the permisison of "Write and view messages". The problem I believe @quchidru is talking about is that there is no menu access for this link for the non-admin user. He is looking for a "Private Message" link to appear somewhere on their profile so that can quickly get to the /messages view.

Am I tracking now with your actual problem @quchidru?

HI You may be onto something, however I cannot test it now since i uninstalled it ( rules are not supported on D10 version)
Too bad - Loved this module functionality and interface on D7 but had to say goodbye for now
I may try it again on test site
Thanks
