“Content → Manage Extensions” permission blocks viewing extension pages for Team Control users #801
Description
Description of Issue:
A Team Control user who doesn’t have the Content → Manage Extensions permission can’t open top-level pages of add-ons (e.g., Bulk Settings Manager, Lighthouse). They see “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.”
Granting that permission restores access, but it should only govern installing/activating/disabling extensions, not merely viewing or using them.
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a Team Control role that:
- Has access to specific add-ons (e.g., Bulk Settings Manager, Lighthouse).
- Does not have Content → Manage Extensions.
Create a user with that role and sign in.
In the MainWP Dashboard sidebar choose an add-on page like Lighthouse.
Observe the “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page” error.
