#39802: Multisite: "No importers are available" error message shown to site admins,
but not to network admins

 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  Import        |    Version:  4.7.2
 Severity:  normal        |   Keywords:
  Focuses:  multisite     |

 Steps to reproduce:
 * Consider one site in a WordPress multisite install.
 * Verify that the "WordPress Importer" plugin is installed in the network,
 but disabled on this specific site.
 * Log in as a ''site'' administrator.
 * Click on "Tools" and "Import".
 * You'll see the message "No importers are available."

 If, however, you open the same screen as a ''network'' admin, WordPress
 will show a link "Run importer". If you click it, WP will activate the
 "WordPress Importer" plugin and proceed with the import process.

 This inconsistency is confusing to users. It does not really make sense
 because both ''site'' admins and ''network'' admins have the necessary
 capabilities to activate the importer plugin (provided that it is
 installed).
