I have set group pemissions in the admin area
Create Mysql Dumps - editor - ticked
Mysqldumps menu does not appear in admin for the editor user.
I want the editor to be able to create backups but not restore. Is this possible? Is there something else I need to do, many thanks for any tips!

I ran into this same problem.
Only way I found as a workaround is to give the editor "Modify Site Preferences" permissions.

Hi,
If you do not want to let editors to "Modify Site Preferences" but to use a module MysqlDump then you have to hack the MysqlDump module in this way:
in a file MysqlDump.module.php replace lines
Code: Select all
function GetAdminSection() {
return 'siteadmin';
}
with lines
Code: Select all
function GetAdminSection() {
return 'extensions';
}
Then you can access the MysqlDump module in menu "Extensions" .
