Messaging error: Conversation in progress

Issue symptoms

When I try to view a ticket, I receive the error: Conversation in progress. An agent is talking to this customer.

Resolution steps

This error means that you aren't authorized to view the ticket due to your permissions. You will need to be granted access to Chat. If you are an admin, you can enable this access yourself. If you aren't an admin, contact your team for further assistance.
