I have updated the parent of a menu item which is coming from a third party extension. I have updated the menu item by my custom module's menu.xml file.

For instance, the menu was coming under Marketing >> Promotions >> Gift Card History. I have changed the menu position to Reports >> Others >> Gift Card Accounting by using the following code:

<update id="Magestore_Giftvoucher::gifthistory" title="Gift Cards Accounting" sortOrder="40" parent="Stream_ChangeCoreMenuPosition::others"/>

Since the parent of the menu item has been changed, now I need to modify the ACL of this item also.

For this, I don't want to make changes in the extension's acl.xml file. So I have created my own acl.xml in my custom module, but when I add the ACL entry for the modified menu position, I get the following error:

Please help me, how can I modify the ACL of the extension using my custom module (without modifying the extension's files).

you need to create a plugin to disable the existing ACL record first

In di.xml

<!-- remove existing record from ACL --> 
<type name="MagentoIntegrationHelperData">
 <plugin name="my-acl-data" type="VendorNameModuleNamePluginIntegrationData" sortOrder="100" />
</type> 

VendorNameModuleNamePluginIntegrationData.php

namespace VendorNameModuleNamePluginIntegration;

class Data

 public function beforeMapResources(MagentoIntegrationHelperData $helper, array $resources)
 
 $removed = $this->getIdsToRemove();
 foreach ($resources as $key => $resource) 
 if (in_array($resource['id'], $removed)) 
 unset($resources[$key]);
 
 
 return [$resources];
 
 private function getIdsToRemove()
 
 return [
 'Magestore_Giftvoucher::gifthistory',
 ];
 

This will remove Magestore_Giftvoucher::gifthistory

Then add your own records in acl.xml : VendorName_ModuleName::yourRecord
