Hey again, For more consistency, the X-Access-Level header value for the "Read, Write & Direct Message" scope is going to be "read-write-directmessages" (rather than "read-write-privatemessages"). We'll also update the Client Application management pages (using "Direct Messages" and not "Private Messages") to match the API methods being called.
