Hey, @smritidoneria ,

Can you please check if the Pin Message permission is enabled for the user role?

I think this issue should be taken into consideration as well.

It really is poor and should be fixed.

no, the user do not have permission to pin message

But user should be allowed to pin the message in direct messaging
