Kentico 9: How to grant permission to built-in types (classes)?

So I have created a custom module that allows certain users to create cities and associate them to States (cms.state).

For the UI element, I used an Object Listing template where the Object Type is set to State (cms.state):

enter image description here enter image description here

This presents a list of US states as expected:

enter image description here

This only works as expected when logged in as Global Administrator. I need to be able to grant view permission to this page for a specific role, who certainly should not have Global Administration permissions. When a user who is only assigned to an EDITOR role views this page, they are told they do not have permission:

enter image description here

I have searched high and low through roles, permissions, users etc.....and I cannot find a way to grant view permissions to class cms.state. I have tried scripting a permission into the SQL database and creating a role permission for it, I have tried altering the cms.state record in the CMS_Class table (flagging ClassIsDocumentType, ClassShowAsSystemTable) and I cannot get it to show in any of the permission assignments.

Any guidance on this topic would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

First make sure you have your permissions defined.

Also, I believe cms.state is a global Kentico reserved class name so you'd have to rename your class to have a different name. Unless you're reusing the existing class/object. If you are, you may need to modify the permissions within the Globalization module to be able to edit the state object(s).

** UPDATE ** Ok I see what you're doing now. I believe the Globalization module does not have Read/Modify permissions and you can't add them either. IMHO it's best to create your own country/state classes because Kentico has some weird setup with how they work and are linked. This will give you the flexiblity you need/want in order to allow your users what they need.
