I created a simple menu (admin/structure/menu) with a link to e.g. an external or internal site that all authenticated users can access but the menu link is not showing for users that have permissions to Use the administration pages and help (System module) & Access administration menu, what am I missing?

It only seems to work for me with menu links in content_type and views.

I read the documentation and searched the issue queue without success.

Thanks @thalles, I should have said I already tried the "Administer menus and menu items" permission just in case, which unfortunately didn't help as this seems to be needed for administering the menus (e.g. creating menus) as supposed to access/viewing them?

Having this enabled only displays the "Structure" menu to access "admin/structure/menu/manage/MENUNAME".

Is this a bug of admin_menu perhaps / not implemented on the assumption that any specific links will have their own permissions setup to work(which obviously simple links won't have) ?

Can you or anyone please try
1) Create a new Menu
2) Create a simple link to external page (so it's not impacted by a permission already setup)
3) Assign the two main permissions to a test/new role and see if the link shows up for you??
