 Replying to [comment:1 joyously]:

 > That's a broad statement (AJAX is generic). If you use the REST API, you
 have to do authentication differently than if you use an ajax_action hook.
 The ajax_action hooks will only work from the WP site because of the
 authentication cookies. Those ajax_action hooks can (and do in core admin
 pages) use `current_user_can()`.

 I expressed inaccurately. Function current_user_can() does not work
 (return false) when parent function wp_insert_post() was called by not-
 logged-in user. through 'wp_ajax_nopriv' hook
