Opening a form as a Site Member gives: "Sorry, you don't have access to this page"

Symptom: 
You have a SharePoint list and the user reporting the issue is a Site Member. When the user tries to open a list item in view mode they are redirected to a page with the message: "Sorry, you don't have access to this page"

Issue: 
The issue I had was that one of the fields in the list was a person field. This field restricted the choice of people to a SharePoint Group. On checking this SharePoint security group. I found that the setting for this group "Who can view the membership of the group" was set to "Group Members".

Resolution:
Once I changed the "Who can view the membership of the group" to "Everyone" everything worked as expected.
