Just out of curiosity what role editors are you referring to so the OP can explore that route and can these role editors allow you to assign moderators that wouldn’t have full admin rights? For instance could you as an admin assign a moderator that could edit the activity stream and forum topics without them being able to…[Read more]

Would the 20 + admin accounts you have set up would be better off as editors? If a particular user doesn’t need certain permissions then it’s a good idea to not award them. Usually this is done for both security reasons and to ensure there’s less change of somebody breaking something inadvertently.

it brought me to my own profile, but displayed the user’s messages.

If you can read an user A’s message from user A’s profile, that may be by design. But if it is from your profile it may be a bug. What are the steps to reproduce and in which version – with these facts you may consider submitting a ticket. Thanks.

As @henrywright mentioned that is by design. Otherwise how would you be able to solve issues between users as an admin if one of your users complains that another user is sending harassing private messages. If you was locked out of viewing the private messages as an admin then you really couldn’t determine if its a legit complaint or…[Read more]

As an admin, you have access to your member’s private messages. That’s by design. Why would you want to restrict access to anything for an admin account?
