Permission "administer search api exclude entity" is confusing

Once again you're correct @smustgrave! Glad you keep the overview and look into this with fresh eyes.
This patch indeed needs a rework to conditionally not use the permission when the field_permissions is active.
This indeed needs to be documented as otherwise the confusion will remain when users use the permission and nothing happens.

Glad I can help! May have time this week to work on it too!

this week turned into a year, for that I apologize.

Didn't remove the permission but changed it to make more sense. Added update hook for BC.

Want to make sure this is part of 3.0.x branch.

Automatically closed - issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
