Hmmm, me thinks we may have a bug or an oversight in the upgrade code
somewhere.
I too don't have a "Manage dashboard modules" permission entry either,
however according to the system/handlers/installhandler.php file (the only
place this is mentioned) I should have:
---
private function upgrade_db_post_3701()
{
ACL::create_token( 'manage_dash_modules', _t( 'Manage
dashboard modules' ), 'Administration' );
}
---
Looks like this upgrade hook was missed for some reason. We're not the only
ones to see this too. mikelietz checked his instances (via IRC discussion)
and he too is missing this permission.
