How do I set access control so I can get Batch entry? It's not showing up
So Civicrm has two main ways to grant or restrict access:


permission: it's more "high level" and it's about granting access to big features, eg to administer events or view anything about financial contributions
Access Control (ACL): it's mostly so a group of user see only a subset of your contacts, for instance the media people only see the journalists


In your case, it's most probably a permission issue, not access control one. Where you set these permissions depends on your CMS, because it's related to the users and their roles.

There is a rather long list of permissions you can grant, including a few about batch (eg. "CiviCRM: create manual batch, Create an accounting batch", check what applies to your case for this user.

If you don't see a change in the menu when you grant extra access, you might need to logout/login so the new rights are taken into account
