This is spun off from #2862422: Add per-media type creation permissions for media → .
That issue added per-bundle permissions to the Media module, which raised a number of UX concerns, specifically around #2862422-61: Add per-media type creation permissions for media → and #2862422-62: Add per-media type creation permissions for media → . Anytime any module wants to add per-bundle permissions, the already intimidatingly large permissions table swells to an even greater size, like a large, poisonous bullfrog. Something must be done!
Several possible solutions have been discussed. In comments #21 through #29, we discussed and agreed a solution based on the work done in #3216341: Provide a module-specific permissions form → and #2571235: [regression] Roles should depend on objects that are building the granted permissions → .
The proposed resolution is to add a "Manage permissions" tab, similar to the "Manage fields" tab. The "Manage permissions" tab shows a filtered list of permissions that are specific to the given bundle.
Move the route enhancer from the field_ui module to Drupal\Core\Entity\Enhancer\EntityBundleRouteEnhancer so that it is always available to the new permissions form. The route enhancer applies to any route that adds the _field_ui option, but it is intended to be used with routes related to entities that specify the field_ui_base_route option, which is part of the core Entity API. I think that makes it appropriate to move the route enhancer out of the field_ui module.
/admin/structure/types. (See #39.)user_help() and in the help_topics module._field_ui route option:
#3246064: Rename the _field_ui route option →
.A new "Manage permissions" tab will be introduced on bundles, next to the "Manage fields" or "Manage display" tabs, and will display a curated/filtered permissions list. For example, here is the new tab for the Recipe content type in the Umami demo profile:
None, unless moving the route enhancer out of the field_ui module is considered an API change
None
When editing a content type, vocabulary, and so on, site administrators already have several tabs: Edit, Manage fields, and so on.
Starting with Drupal 9.4.0, there is a new tab, "Manage permissions", when appropriate. It lists just the permissions that depend on the given type. See Add "Manage permissions" tab after "Manage display" → .
I added the "9.4.0 release highlights" tag as a suggestion to the release managers. If this issue does make it in to 9.4.0, then I think it is worth mentioning along with these other issues: some already fixed, some of which might also make it:
Fixed
9.4

How to get this Manage permissions tab automatically for custom entities?
Hi @kopeboy
The change record has information for those developing entity types, please refer to the "Module developers" section at https://www.drupal.org/node/3242827 →
