Question

Here’s the situation:

I would like to add a Menu in the Magento backend navigation menu.
I accomplished this by adding the following code in app/etc/config.xml:

<adminhtml>
<menu>
    <example translate="title" module="adminhtml">
        <title>Inventory</title>
        <sort_order>110</sort_order>
        <children>
            <set_time>
                <title>Set It!</title>
                <action>helloworld/index/goodbye</action>
            </set_time>
        </children>
    </example>
</menu> 

The problem is I can’t include this menu in the permission->role resources so I can’t assign this to a specific user.

How do I include this menu in the permission->role resources?

Thank you and more power!

thanks.. I got it to work with a few tweakings..

<adminhtml>
    <acl>
        <resources>
            <admin>
                <children>

 <helloworld_options translate="label" module="helloworld">
  <title> MENU</title>
                    <sort_order>999</sort_order>
                    <children>
   <hello_children1>
    <title> RELATION</title>
                            <sort_order>10</sort_order>
   </hello_children1>
   <hello_children2>
    <title> MACHINE</title>
                            <sort_order>20</sort_order>
   </hello_children2>
   <hello_children3>
    <title> INVOICE</title>
                            <sort_order>30</sort_order>
   </hello_children3>
  </children>
 </helloworld_options>

                    <system>
                        <children>
                            <config>
                                <children>
                                    <helloworld_options translate="label" module="helloworld">
                                        <title> MENU</title>
                                    </helloworld_options>
                                </children>
                            </config>
                        </children>
                    </system>
                </children>
            </admin>
        </resources>
    </acl>
</adminhtml>

this will display the following menu with sub menus in the backend.. plus this can be configured in the role resources.. 🙂
