 The following code added to function file is the stated way to provide
 access to the customizer for users with "edit_posts" capabilities.

 ********************************

 function allow_users_who_can_edit_posts_to_customize( $caps, $cap,
 $user_id ) {
     $required_cap = 'edit_posts';
     if ( 'customize' === $cap && user_can( $user_id, $required_cap ) ) {
         $caps = array( $required_cap );
     }
     return $caps;
 }
 add_filter( 'map_meta_cap', 'allow_users_who_can_edit_posts_to_customize',
 10, 3 );

 ********************************

 The Probblem; Outside of the admin, eligible users are shown the
 customizer link in the toolbar, but when they click the link they get
 "Cheating,'uh" accusation rather than the customizer.
