Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Create a user in the "Administrator" (not Super User!) group.
  2. Enable frontend module editing and allow frontend module editing for the "Administrator" group.
  3. Log in to the Administrator account in frontend.
  4. Try to edit a module in frontend.

Expected result

The module edit screen should be shown.

Actual result

Error 403: You don't have permission to access this.

System information (as much as possible)

PHP 7.2
Tested with 4.0-beta3 and current 4.0-dev (a1990ff).

Additional comments

Reported by user LukasHH at https://forum.joomla.de/thread/12433-j4-beta-3-frontend-bearbeitung-module-führt-zu-403-fehler/. Confirmed by @ChristineWk and myself.

Not sure when this bug was introduced, but it worked in 3.x, and still works in staging.

The default for anyone below superuser is "Not Allowed."

Once defined as Allowed in the Options, an Administrator can edit modules in frontend.

Once defined as Allowed in the Options, an Administrator can edit modules in frontend.

For me, this doesn't work. I set it to "allowed" in the options of "Modules" (step 2 of the description above).
Does it work on your 4.0 site?

But then, after clicking the icon
403 You don't have permission to access this. Please contact a website administrator if this is incorrect.

Please test modifying this line

if (!$this->app->getIdentity()->authorise('core.admin'))

to
if (!$this->app->getIdentity()->authorise('module.edit.frontend', 'com_modules.module.' . $mod->id))

Will do PR.
