About Module Permissions

Permissions control access to module features and functionality. Each permission has a unique key for identification, a friendly name for display, and a description explaining what it allows. Some permissions are countable, meaning they can have numeric values or limits assigned. Administrators assign these permissions to user roles to control who can use different module features.
