The idea of this plugin is that it’s admin’s only who can view the notes. You can get around this though by installing a plugin like My Custom Functions and pasting the following into it:
function custom_user_notes_show_field($wp_user) {
//Don't show the non-editable version to admins
if(current_user_can('list_users'))
return;
$notes = get_user_meta($wp_user->ID, 'user-notes-note', true);
?>
<h3><?php _e('User Notes', 'user-notes'); ?></h3>
<table class="form-table">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<div><?php echo wpautop($notes); ?></div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<?php
}
add_action('show_user_profile', 'custom_user_notes_show_field');
