Setting Access Permissions for JFBConnect Channels

I am trying to set up a member group that only has access to the JFBConnect component. (This will be used in my app approval process to provide access to Facebook).
I have set up a new group and viewing level, set the Joomla access permissions, as well as the JFBConnect component access permissions.

I am able to appropriately access only the JFBConnect component from the backend and all elements except CHANNELS, even though I have access approved for all JFBConnect elements. It seems only the SUPER USER group has access to the CHANNELS are of the component.

What am I missing? How can I give a Joomla User group access to CHANNELS?

Partial progress was made but not quite there yet. When I added the code, CHANNEL MANAGEMENT did show up on the ACCESS OPTIONS, and I was able to set to ALLOWED for the specific user group. Then when logged in as a member of that group, I could now click on CHANNELS in the JFBConnect dashboard, and see the list of created channels. Prior to this code change I would have gotten this far and clicking on CHANNELS would have triggered an access error.

However, when I click on a CHANNEL to review/change settings, I get an ACCESS ERROR.

Shouldn't the permitted group be able to review channel information if it has channel management permissions?

Happy to report that the changes did the trick. THANK YOU for the fast and detailed response.

I am now going to generate my screen capture for app review and approval. I let you know how it goes.

I spoke too soon with previous post. Almost there. While I can now access the channel, it triggers an access error when trying to create a new channel. Specifically after select Facebook for the channel type.

I can access the channel page, and when I click on NEW, I get the form. I can enter a name and description, and I can select Facebook as the Channel provider, but as soon as I select Facebook, I get a "not authorized to access" error, and I cannot set the channel type.

It seems we are missing one more permission element. Please advise.

PS - The more general use case here is where I want to have a social media admin for the website and e-community, that would be managing the connections and post to social media platforms. However, they would not be SUPER USERS, and would have access restricted to only the social media controls. I have been able to do this with Joomla Access Groups, and I am almost there with this last exception.
