Problem/Motivation

Non-admins roles cannot configure extlink. Allows access to only extlink configuration.

Proposed resolution

Add a new permission "administer Extlink settings".
https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21system%21system.api.php/func...

Remaining tasks

  • Add the permissions
  • Update Tests
  • Port the patch to 8.x

Original report by Revathi Manohar

I am facing the problem with External link module.In my website the editor want to access the External link configuration page.But there is no permission.

I believe this requires hook_permission.

@Ramaya, thanks.

You will also need to update the tests in extlink.test.

I have implemented the HOOK_permissions() and also modified the 'test' file accordingly.
