In our case we end up calling entity_access to create terms, which ultimately passes through to entity_metadata_taxonomy_access which has this:
case "create":
if ($entity_type == 'taxonomy_term') {
// Check for taxonomy_access_fix contrib module which adds additional
// permissions to create new terms in a given vocabulary.
if (function_exists('taxonomy_access_fix_access')) {
return taxonomy_access_fix_access('add terms', $entity->vocabulary_machine_name);
}
}
Rather than add that module, it's simplest to just implement that. It's safest to implement that in an if function_exists() in case we ever add that module.
Try to create a new taxonomy.
