Comment:
Following on from [41316], the Try Gutenberg callout seriously shouldn't
be shown to anyone unless they have either `edit_posts` capabilities or
the `install_plugins` capability. This hasn't been thought through from an
agency point of view where clients will be confused and not understand
what Gutenberg really is.
Linking them to a page on WordPress.org with more information will
continue the confusion because it won't give them anymore useful
information if they're not in a position to actually use it. I understand
that generally, the Gutenberg team want more people using it, but this is
a forceful decision to show what is basically an advert to users where
it's not needed.
**''Please''**, don't add the callout to the dashboard for everyone, do a
capabilities check and show it only to people who can act upon it. The
current way of dealing with this is less than ideal, especially for
agencies with lots of active sites to maintain.
I understand there is a plugin with some options to disable, but another
plugin on top of the Classic Editor/Gutenberg Ramp is getting ridiculous
and shouldn't have to be the case here.
