    Hi,

    As you are making a rest api call with respect to message, this call returns users who have given kudos to that particular post.

    When you turn off and hide kudos from topic options for that thread it will not allow above api to fetch kudos details.

    That is the reason you are getting this response.

    Hope this helps.

Thanks to all of the posters for their suggestions. The accepted solution ended up being our issue exactly: re-enabling kudos temporarily on a kudos-disabled thread made it possible to grab the list of "givers" for messages in that thread. Turning kudos back off put us back in the Permission denied state.

 

Thanks again for the help.
