I think it could have happended that the user in question did not have the "access administarion pages" permission but the "access statistics" permission.

Indeed, easily duplicated.

Part of the confision is that pre-4.6 there were two options, "access statistics" and "administer statistics". The former made content view counters visible, the latter made the accesslog visible. The problem was that "access statistics" was redundant with another "make content view counters visible" option on the statistics module configuration page.

Unfortunately, I believe the wrong permission was removed. On my site, I want to be able to let registered users view the view counters (primarily as they are interested in their personal blogs), but not anonymous users.

The attached patch removes the option on the statistics module configuration page, and renames the "access statistics" permission to "access accesslog". Additionally, it adds a new "access content view counters" permission. By default, if content view counters are enabled only the administrator will be able to see them until the permission is assigend to other roles.

I've attached a patch for 4.6.3, as that's what the bug is against. But I'll post another patch for cvs.

Version: 4.6.0 » 4.6.9

Should be worked for 4.6.9?

It seems that 4.7 has the missing permission without using this patch.
Marking this as "won't fix" due to the low interest in it
