The response indicates the status of the message for internal and external users:

* `sent`: All users to whom the message has been sent and received by the Symphony system, but not yet delivered to any user's Symphony client.
* `delivered`: All users who have at least one Symphony client to which the message has been delivered, and not read yet.
* `read`: All users who have read that message, in any Symphony client.

Note:

* For security reasons, the response excludes `userName` for external users.
* If a message is suppressed, the `sent` array will never contain any users as the message would no longer be accessible to users who have not already seen it. If the message has been `read` or `delivered` prior to being suppressed, the relevant arrays are available.

> #### 📘 known exceptions
>
> • If the user was on the stream when the message was sent and the stream had "viewHistory" (for rooms) enabled, he can get the message status.\
> • If the user is a member of the stream, he can get the message status.
