如何让经理看到joomla 2.5组件？

Question

I'm creating a new joomla component.

I've compressed the component in a zip file and installed it, everything works fine and I can see the component in components menu (in the back-end off-course) in when I log in as super user. the problem is when I log in as a manger I can't see the component in that menu, nevertheless I can access it if I point my browser directly to the component url.

It's a very simple component (no config or access.xml) I just want both mangers and super user to see the component in the menu.

In config.xml you'll have to add this-

<fieldset
        name="permissions"
        label="JCONFIG_PERMISSIONS_LABEL"
        description="JCONFIG_PERMISSIONS_DESC"
        >

        <field
            name="rules"
            type="rules"
            label="JCONFIG_PERMISSIONS_LABEL"
            class="inputbox"
            filter="rules"
            validate="rules"
            component="com_component"
            section="component" />
    </fieldset>

And there will an access.xml file -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<access component="com_component">
    <section name="component">
        <action name="core.admin" title="JACTION_ADMIN" description="JACTION_ADMIN_COMPONENT_DESC" />
        <action name="core.manage" title="JACTION_MANAGE" description="JACTION_MANAGE_COMPONENT_DESC" />
        <action name="core.create" title="JACTION_CREATE" description="JACTION_CREATE_COMPONENT_DESC" />
        <action name="core.delete" title="JACTION_DELETE" description="JACTION_DELETE_COMPONENT_DESC" />
        <action name="core.edit" title="JACTION_EDIT" description="JACTION_EDIT_COMPONENT_DESC" />
        <action name="core.edit.state" title="JACTION_EDITSTATE" description="JACTION_EDITSTATE_COMPONENT_DESC" />
    </section>
    <section name="category">
        <action name="core.create" title="JACTION_CREATE" description="COM_CATEGORIES_ACCESS_CREATE_DESC" />
        <action name="core.delete" title="JACTION_DELETE" description="COM_CATEGORIES_ACCESS_DELETE_DESC" />
        <action name="core.edit" title="JACTION_EDIT" description="COM_CATEGORIES_ACCESS_EDIT_DESC" />
        <action name="core.edit.state" title="JACTION_EDITSTATE" description="COM_CATEGORIES_ACCESS_EDITSTATE_DESC" />
    </section>
</access>
