API Permission for View message store data, including SMS, fax, voicemail, etc.

I am trying to clone tylerlong/permalink: URL proxy for RC platform media file (github.com)

Which API permission maps to "View message store data, including SMS, fax, voicemail, etc."?

My implementation client only has "Read Call Recording" and perhaps that is why it doesn't quite work.

You can always find out required app permission by looking at the API reference.

In this case, it is the ReadMessages.

Thanks. The description in the API permissions reference don't match up with what the user is shown. In any case, the permission wasn't required.

I think the message is just unclear. It means that access the message store metadata and including SMS, fax, voicemail content etc.
