`assigns public` displays inaccessible link to non-staff users

I’ve just given this a run-through on my test site and I can replicate this. :+1:

  • Enable Assign plugin
  • Toggle on assigns public
  • Create a topic and post a reply
  • Assign reply to an eligible user
  • As TL1 user, click on ‘Assigned to [USER]’

  • Link goes to an Access Denied page (/u/JammyDodger/activity/assigned) as the assigns are public but the assign activity is not.
