You might want to read through viewtopic.php?f=556&t=2417926 paying specific attention to this post and this post and possibly this post (from a previous, related, topic).
FWIW, regarding this linked post:
RMcGirr83 wrote: Fri Apr 07, 2017 6:33 pm Probably a stupid question, but did you check the permissions for the user in the ACP (located under the misc tab "can manage extensions"). Not sure if that permission is used for the module but can't hurt to check.

The "Can manage extensions" does not appear under that tab. This is with the "a_extensions" row added to the _acl_options table.

(I had previously posted that the display of tabs had been frozen; for some reason this is no longer the case. Apologies for any confusion.)

Any thoughts on how I can work around this? I've inserted the row in the table; still no joy.

Did you assign that permission to a role afterwards?

I can't. It doesn't appear in the administrative permissions list (or do I misunderstand you?):

So there is no work around for this? Nothing I can do in the MySQL tables, etc., to fix this?

What row(s) did you insert into the database?

Just this one:

Code: Select all

+----------------+--------------+-----------+----------+--------------+
| auth_option_id | auth_option  | is_global | is_local | founder_only |
+----------------+--------------+-----------+----------+--------------+
|            123 | a_extensions |         1 |        0 |            0 |

Permissions are cached, did you purge the cache in ACP?

Just a thought.
