I can't open any character page

It start yesterday. After finished game D&D i went to page my any characters. and see the message apperance "You do not have permission to view this character. Contact your Game Master for help." My friends have the same error. The master who led the game for us says that did not change anything. In the game itself the characters open normally, but it inconvenietet. Google Chrome. Im sorry for my English I use google translate. 
It's happening for me as well. It's only failing to open character sheets that are currently attached to a game. If you remove them from the game, you can open them again, but adding them back gives the same error again.
Hi there! Thanks for bringing this to our attention! Our developers are going to look into this. In the meantime you should be able to create a copy of the character and view the sheet from there!

Happening to me as well.  Started a couple weeks ago for me.  I can see the character sheet just fine in the game that they are in but trying to load from the characters page shows the aforementioned error.  GM has not changed anything.  Happens when using the latest version of Chrome and Firefox.
Hey folks, Sorry about that. It was a bug that we missed in some recent work that we did. We've fixed the problem and are working on creating checks/tests in the code to make sure that this doesn't happen again. Thank you all for reporting it and bringing it to our attention. Give it another try. It is working now.
I just found out about the new My Characters page today and seem to be experiencing this bug still.  I followed a workaround I saw elsewhere to create a copy of the affected character, that worked.  The original also worked after that, though that trick isn't working with older characters that have been in my Roll20 vault for a long time.

Give it another try. It is working now. I still have this problem. I have already cleared the cache. It is not clear on what principle the bug sometimes appears, sometimes does not. Are there any recommendations on how to fix this?
I'm getting an error message when I try to open a couple of my character sheets. " You do not have permission to view this character.  Contact your Game Master for help." - Only... I'm the GM, and I made the characters myself since they're NPCs in the campaign. I tried going into the game to 'allow myself permission', but couldn't find anywhere to do so. So I tried deleting the game entirely since we were having a hard time on Roll20's battle maps, I wouldn't be losing anything by deleting the game. But that still didn't remove the NPCs from the game, and I still can't access them. I tried copying the character, but it gives me the same error message. Since the session is later today, I will have to completely reconstruct both character sheets before the session starts. Can someone from roll20 fix this, please?
August 20th; this error is happening to all of my characters in my character vault.  These are all characters that I own and made myself, some are in games, some are not; I am the GM in some of those games, and not in others.  I'm logged in correctly, and they only show up as my characters, but every single one of them goes to the  "You do not have permission to view this character. Contact your Game Master for help." Error page.  Clearly this bug is not fixed, and I'd really appreciate help or a solution.

If you want resolution on this, the best way is to file a  Help Center Request . The forums are mostly community-level help, but the Help Request makes a ticket.
