Comment (by rmccue):

 Following the general pattern of `verb_noun`, this should be
 `access_admin`, as in `current_user_can( 'access_admin' )`.

 I'm not sure I'm a fan of this, since I can't really see a reason why
 users shouldn't be able to access their own profile, for example. I think
 if you want that behaviour, you should be handling it via other
 actions/filters rather than via capabilities.

 Replying to [comment:2 krogsgard]:
 > This came about because I was having an issue where WooCommerce
 customers who were also authors/editors lost admin access, and it turns
 out to be from some multi-role issues and various capability checking.

 For reference, this is #36376.
