Runway: editor role, accessing collections
As mentioned in this thread, it appears that the collections link does not appear for editors. In that thread, the workaround is to add the ability to access individual collections by checking them in the 'manage from this page' option. I've noticed that while this does add a link to the collection on the page edit region list, a link is not added on the page list under the regions column.
I suppose this can just be filed under feature requests, but I would love for editors to be able to access the same collections listing page as admins, and also for collections added to pages to be listed under the regions column on the page list. Clients are finding it confusing to access collections, and on some sites there are too many collections to be able to list them all in the apps dropdown.

There are changes in 2.9 for better management generally of what appears on menus and being able to customize them. So it is being addressed as part of that release.
Sounds awesome, looking forward to 2.9. Thanks Rachel.
