I am not sure what went wrong. I installed the module, activated it, there are permissions for it, there is a line in the log stating the module was activated, but there is no configuration options or screen.

There is no link for this module under Configuration > Media

If I try to access /admin/config/media/private-files-download-permission directly it just lands me on /admin/config/media

The "configure" link on the modules page literally points to just /admin/config/media

I am logged in as user 1 and I have set the permissions for the module to all Authenticated User. I have flushed all caches several times.

Help I really need this capability!

I solved my own issue and reset this as a bug report. I traced this to an issue with the Migrate Webform module. Disabled that and the Config link appeared in the admin menu.

Migrate modules require you define two databases in settings.php, one for the main D7 database and another for the database you are migrating content from. After I migrated all of the content for the site, I switched back to a settings.php file with just the main D7 database defined. However I had not yet disabled the Migrate modules and the Migrate Webform module has a configuration setting where you enter the source database name, which is now no longer defined. I read in a different issue the author stated that his module enforces some sort of database dependencies, so I am guessing having this reference to a non-defined database may have been the issue. Just a guess really though.
