Permissions to show only one custom admin page to a role

[nixsofar]

There might be an obvious answer, but I can't figure it out:

I have an admin page containing custom HTML, based on the ProcessSimpleAdminPage module

As intended, it shows an extra tab in the admin area next to "Pages", "Setup", "Modules", "Access" for the superuser.

There is a role "editor" with permissions that let them only see the "Pages" tab.

How can I achieve that such an "editor" can also see the custom tab in addition to "Pages"?

Create a permission called `mymodule-view`, add it to `editor` role, then in your module add a `permission` property like this

class ProcessSimpleAdminPage extends Process {

    public static function getModuleInfo() {
        return array(
            'title' => 'Process Simple Admin Page',
            'summary' => 'Simple Process module that adds new admin page with',
            'version' => 001,
            'permission' => 'mymodule-view',
            'permissions' => [
                'mymodule-view' => 'Can use my module'
            ]
        );
    }

Additionally, you can also add `permissions` property which will create the permissions for you when you install it.

@abdus: Looks like the information I was after. Thanks a lot!

Edit: Unfortunately no effect. Isn't there maybe anything to do at template level?

Edit #2: Success after another module un/reinstall- No idea what I did wrong the first time. – Thanks again!
