Missing acl.xml for the Magento_Checkout module

[tzyganu]

In the system.xml of the Magento_Checkout module there is a resource referenced: <resource>Magento_Checkout::checkout</resource> but the resource is not defined anywhere.
It seams that the acl.xml file is missing.

And a question on the topic. Why is the acl.xml file located directly inside etc folder and not etc/adminhtml since it is used on the admin area alone?

[antonkril]

Resource tree is area agnostic. It can be used by any area. And yes, acl.xml is missing for checkout

@antonkril Thanks for clearing the question.

@asemenenko Andrii--is this one your for checkout or for Piotr (security)?

[tzyganu]

Any reason why this is not merged yet? Did I do something wrong?

@piotrekkaminski This is not a feature request. It's actually a bug.
I forgot to mention this, maybe because it seamed obvious to me. Now that I think about it it's not that obvious.
Because the acl.xml file is missing in the checkout module, when creating a user role in the backend, I cannot give access to that role to the system->configuration->checkout section.
But anyway...I see that my PR for this made it to the develop branch.
Does this mean it will be available in the next version?
If so, you can leave this closed.
