As an admin, I am unable to create personal chats with other users.
However, according to the site settings, staff members should always have the ability to create personal chats.
Set chat allowed groups to TL0 & direct message enabled groups to moderators
As an admin, attempt to create a personal chat with a TL1 user.
This issue is related to PR #26010
# frozen_string_literal: true
module Chat
class ChatableUserSerializer < UserWithCustomFieldsSerializer
attributes :can_chat, :has_chat_enabled
def can_chat
SiteSetting.chat_enabled && object.guardian.can_chat? && object.guardian.can_direct_message?
end
def has_chat_enabled
can_chat && object.user_option&.chat_enabled
end
end
end
When a user attempts to create a personal chat, we should not verify whether the target user has the ability to create personal chats. Instead, as specified in the site settings, we should verify whether the current user has the ability to create personal chats.
As long as the current user is a member of the direct message enabled groups or is a staff member, they should be able to create a personal chat.
I have submitted a pull request to fix this issue:

When a user attempts to create a personal chat, we should not verify whether the target user has the ability to create personal chats. Instead, as specified in the site settings, we should verify whether the **current user** has the ability to create personal chats.
As long as the current user is a member of the direct message enabled groups or is a staff member, they should be able to create a personal chat.
