Also need views field handlers for Add, Edit, and Delete fields - that should only show based on user permissions.

Attached patch adds new views handlers that provide Edit and Delete links for field collection items.

Here is a different approach which more closely follows what Views itself is doing for similar action links for Nodes.

Thank you!

Another note is that you should not create a label in views for the links as the label will be shown to unprivileged users while the link is properly hidden.

If you are only displaying a single node's field collection items, another tip is to exclude the add item link from display. Then add a footer with the following global unfiltered text with "use replacement patterns" checked.

<ul class="action-links">
<li>[add_item]</li>
</ul>

If you don't exclude add item from display, it will be displayed in every field collection item.

Those handlers should leverage the views' views_handler_field_enttiy (or how it is called), such as the node links do in View. Check them for example.

I do no think we should directly extend the node-link handlers. Semantically it doesn't make sense and I don't think it would bring us much.

@Fago #6 doesn't extend the node link handlers, did you take a look at it?

The patch in #12 no longer applies to the latest 7.x-1.x-dev and may be too old to easily reroll, but I went ahead and tagged the issue accordingly.
