Answer
- D The module has not yet been granted as an allowed module in the editor's backend user group
Explanation
With 'access' => 'user' a module is intended for editors, but they only see it once it has been assigned to them as an allowed module through their backend user group (or directly in their user record). Administrators see all modules, which is why the problem often goes unnoticed when testing with an admin account. Practical tip: always check new modules with an editor test account as well. TypoScript controls the frontend and has nothing to do with module permissions in the backend.
