This role can be used the most when you setup a demo store for the extension.

This arises the need of implementing ACL for your extension.
This step to step guide will walk you through implementing ACL and adding new user roles in your Magento extension and allowing them the necessary access to features and functionality.

First of all,
- Create file acl.xml in app/code/[companyname]/[extension_name]/etc/acl.xml and add below code:
- Please take resource id from the system.xml of the extension you have developed.
App/code/[companyname]/[extension_name]/etc/adminhtml/system.xml
Feel free to post the comments if you have any suggestion or problem with it.
