[bug] Access Policy: Top menu

Bug report

Summary

Recently we tested all the settings in the Access Policy and grouped them into logical groups, but almost every setting has an inaccuracy or even a bug.

Guys, we need help in testing these problems, both from the MODX-user and from the MODX-components.

"Top menu" Group:

• menu_site - Hide / Show items in the "Content" section, for a direct link work.
• import_static - Enable / Disable items "Content-> Import HTML and Import Static Resources", for a direct link do not work.
• search - Prevent use of search, the search on the top does not work, but does not disappear, the section "Search" (/manager/?a=search) for a direct link does not work.
• content_types - Enable / Disable the item "Content-> Content Types", for a direct link do not work.
• sources - Enable / Disable the section "Media Sources" in "Media-> Media Sources", for a direct link does not work.

Below are the settings that can be applied to the menu and another group of access settings.

• property_sets - Enable / Disable section with "Gear-> Property Sets", does not work for a direct link, duplicates edit_propertyset.
• edit_propertyset - Enable / Disable section with "Gear-> Property Sets", does not work for a direct link, duplicates property_sets.
• view_user - Enable / Disable the section "Manage-> Users", for a direct link does not work. Similar to edit_user.
• edit_user - Enable / Disable the section with users ("Manage-> Users"), for a direct link does not work, but the item remains in the menu. Similar to view_user.
• view_context - Enable / Disable section with "Gear-> Contexts", for a direct link does not work. If in the tree to go to context editing via the context menu, the page hangs, but does not give an error.
• components - Hide / Show the whole "Extras" section. The item "Extras-> Installer" for a direct link works.
• packages - Enable / Disable the whole "Extras" section. The item "Applications-> Installer" for a direct link does not work.
• workspaces - Enable / Disable the item "Extras-> Installer", this is shown in the menu, but it does not work for a direct link.
• file_manager - For some reason, the entire section of "Media" is hidden, although in fact only the "Media Browser" is disabled, and the "Media Sources" for a direct link are opened.

Non-working settings. Below are the settings from the old versions that relate to the menu (it seems), but do not work.

• about - The About page.
• credits - View the Credits page.
• export_static - To export the site to static HTML.
• menu_security - Show the top menu item "Security".
• menu_support - Show the top menu item "Support".
• menu_system - Show the top menu item "System".
• menu_trash - Show the top menu item "Trash Manager".

Menu settings behave strangely, for example, a section may disappear from the menu, but for a direct link the section will work. Or the menu item will remain, but for a direct link it does not work, a page opens with an error.

By the way, the same strange behavior can be in links in the context menu or control buttons.
