 Users with the role of author are unable to set featured images in posts.
 I am able to replicate this in a fresh installation of WordPress (Ver 5.6,
 Php 7.4.8, no plugins, 2021 theme).

 There are two errors in the console:


 {{{
 api-fetch.min.js?ver=5f98b08f212ba8fa8b4685ad2e1b1378:2 GET
 https://dev.msiachild.org/wp-json/wp/v2/media/16?context=edit&_locale=user
 403
 }}}

 and


 {{{

 edit this post.", data: {…}}
