That will require a file edit. The file is global.php

Make sure you do a backup before changing any files.

Around line 695 it should say this:

if ($permissions['visitormessagepermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_visitormessagepermissions['canmanageownprofile'])

Around line 774 it should have a closing }

Now replace lines 695 - 774 with this:

    }
