Realtime current user data

Help

Hi, i’m trying to get back the current user’s data over realtime.

Can somebody help me to understand why this function returns this error.
The user is authenticated and and administrator.

14:33:43.478 MessageDashboard.tsx:62 Received items: {type: ‘items’, status: ‘error’, error: {…}, uid: ‘5’}error: {code: ‘INVALID_COLLECTION’, message: ‘The provided collection does not exists or is not accessible.’}status: "error"type: "items"uid: “5”

 function readUsers() {
    client.sendMessage({
      type: 'items',
      collection: 'directus_users',
      action: 'read',
      query: {
        fields: ['first_name', 'last_name', 'email'],
      },
    });
  }

Hello, you can use this API to get the current logged in user, Users | Directus Docs

This doesn’t show the formatting to do this over a realtime websocket though. This exact code works fine if I change the collection to something I’ve made but it doesn’t work for system fields.

Can confirm this behavior.
Digging into the code I could find that this error is thrown when sending messages on a system collection:

Dont’t know tho, why system collections are not supported :thinking:
