Permissions

Ace Editor defines a single permission in ace_editor.permissions.yml:

Permission Machine name Notes
Administer AceEditor administer ace_editor Marked restrict access — grant only to trusted roles.

Day-to-day use of the module is governed by core permissions rather than this one:

  • Configuring a text editor / filter on a format requires Administer filters (administer filters).
  • Configuring a field's display formatter requires the relevant Administer … display permissions for that entity type/bundle.
  • Using the editor while creating/editing content requires the normal create/edit permissions for the content, plus access to a text format that has the Ace editor assigned.

Grant permissions at People → Permissions (/admin/people/permissions).

Because the Administer AceEditor permission is flagged as restricted, assign it only to administrative roles you fully trust.
