Description

The Resources page did not say what Access on the Resource Groups tab does. In MODX 3.x that checkbox is membership: checked adds the Resource to the group (modResourceGroupResource), unchecked removes it. It is not an ACL grant. The page stays public until you attach a User Group and an ACL.

Also renamed leftover "Access Permissions" / "Acces" labels on the Resource Groups page and the member-only tutorial so they match the manager tab.

Checked against Revolution origin/3.x: modx.panel.resource.js, modx.grid.resource.security.local.js, Processors/Resource/{Create,Update,ResourceGroup}.

Affected versions

3.x (tab label is the same idea on 2.x, wording follows 3.x)

Relevant issues

Fixes #434

The Resources page never explained that Access means group membership,
not an ACL grant. Align related pages with the 3.x tab label.
