Feature #93903

h2. Update
It might make more sense to focus on the problems at hand - solve existing problems (e.g. redirect chains) and if possible give editors access (and or view) of the redirects concerning only the pages they have access to.
h2. Description
I wanted to test if it is possible to give editors a read-only view of the redirects. So I gave permission to redirects module but not to sys_redirects table.
However, when the module is opened as the user, you get edit action buttons (edit, deleted, disable etc.).
If you click on the edit action button (pencil), the spinner occurs (which is common when trying to edit something you are not allowed to).
It is correct, that it is not possible to edit but I think you should not get the action buttons in the first place.

I think it would be useful to give editors a non-editing view of the redirects module (by restricting access to sys_redirects), however this is not possible.
