An answering of a question on Stack Exchange
([https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/367518/how-do-i-code-
access-to-the-built-in-ui-of-a-cpt-when-its-placed-as-submenu-of]) led to
the reporting of this bug. Please refer to it for further explanation and
coding examples.
When a custom post type is registered, the {{{show_in_menu}}} option
allows for the UI link of the custom post type to be nested under the menu
of a second custom post type. However, if the user is authorized to
view/edit the first post type, the UI of said nested post type is
unavailable if the user does not also possess the capabilities required of
the post type represented in the parent menu.
The bug is this: the admin menu is properly displaying the links to pages
which the user is capable of viewing, but the user is not permitted to
access those pages. The same can be said of any page whose link is nested
in the admin menu under a page which the user does not possess the
required capabilities of that parent.
