I have seen many reports posted on the forums, however no-one seems to have nailed down this issue or been able to explain how to replicate it. I have just loaded 6.10 and added a couple of users. Admin was able to access personal contact forms for all users, but the individual users could not access each others contact forms. When user gmalsack looks at the user profile for pdavis, all he can see is the "view" and "track" tabs, no contact tab. However once I enable the "Administer Users" permission on Authenticated users, then the user gmalsack can see the contact tab on the pdavis user's profile. However he can then also see and change the edit tab as well. It would appear that the contact tab is linked to the Administer Users permission rather than the Access Users Profile permission. Logically this wouldn't seem correct.

This is probably because your users do not have their personal contact forms enabled. (see the user/username/edit page and the 'allow users to contact me' checkbox).

Yes, the administer users will override any settings or permissions and allow user administrators to access any contact form, but you will *not* want to give that permission to all of your registered users.
