Description
Problem:
It's possible to give users permission to edit various parts of a site, but they can't actually log into the CP to access the editing interface. Just hypothetically speaking, of course. I certainly didn't spend an hour troubleshooting this... 😉
Possible solutions:
- When a permission is selected that requires CP access, automatically check the "Access the CP" permission
- When a permission is selected that requires CP access and "Access the CP" is not selected, show a warning immediately or upon save

Research direction
No files or tests are identified. Start by locating the permission-editing interface and how the “Access the CP” permission is represented; review both proposed behaviors in the issue. Done means the selected behavior prevents users from assigning edit permissions without CP access.
