I have a basic question about accessibility of the user dashboard page in OA2. The path user/[uid]/view which takes the user to the dashboard page, is not an accessible view for anyone but the current user. In other words, as the site admin, I would like to be able to see all the user dashboard pages. Is this a feature or a bug? If either, I would like to be able to change it, at least on my site.
I note that this was not a problem in OA1, where all dashboard pages are in principle accessible and can be viewed.
Thank you.

If you want to add certain Views and see them for all users, add them to the Activity Panels page, which is what is shown when you click on a user that isn't you. Or you can always create other pages that are tabs on the User entity (like Activity page does)

The machine name "user_actitivy" is misspelled, but maybe its too late to change it.
