[#14161] - Admin Menu Manager: Problem with permissions

- Build: staging
- # 14161
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Create two admin menus. One that uses the system preset and one that contains only one (I called it Second Admi Menu ) menu item for creating an article.
- Set the permission so, that an administrator can only access the "Second Admin Menu" with the one menu item for creating an article.
Expected result
A super admin can see both menus. A normal administrator can only access the admin menu with the name "Second Admin Menu" and the one menu item for creating an article
Actual result
The super admin and the administrator can access both admin menus. And they both see the warning: "The active administrator menu does not contain links to Module Manager and Menu Manager. Click to turn on the menu recovery mode."

@infograf768 Yes you are right. I want to use the admin menu for restrincting permissons. But that is not the intention of this. Thank you

Looks like you are confusing permissions and Access levels for these menu modules.
On all cases: each custom admin menu should have at least 3 menu items (menu items manager, modules manager, and component). If one does not have these, the Warning will display. Their display will depend on the permissions for each component concerned and Global permissions.
The menu modules access is another story. It is a bit complex as Joomla per default is setting all backend modules (except Login) to
Specialaccess.That
Specialaccess is also used in frontend.Therefore one has to carefully craft the access levels in order for example to not display all custom admin menus for Manager or Administrator, etc.
