Steps to reproduce the issue

I have not been able to identify steps that would reproduce this issue. In occurs in normal use of the backend. Seems to be related to checked out items: either items that have been checked out a long time ago, and then the same user tries to open it, or after checking in items checked out by other users. However it can also occur with items that are not checked out.

Expected result

You should be able to open the item: article, module, menu item, user

Actual result

The first time you try to open a message is displayed:
You are not permitted to use that link to directly access that page (#162).
and the list view is displayed.

After that every time you click on the item, the list view is shown and no message or error is displayed.

Logging out and back in solves it most of the times. Other times you have to wait for a few minutes for it to work again. However this doesn't solve the problem permanently, it may happen right away after logging in, or after a while it starts happening again.

System information (as much as possible)

I have seen this error in j3.5.x and j3.6.0
Apache server 2.4
PHP 5.5 and 7.0

Additional comments

I didn't find another issue reporting this problem. I have been observing this since 3.5.x in several different sites, and it happens to different users. Unfortunately except for the first message displayed there aren't errors or logs generated.
