BUG REPORT: Suggest Plugins Nag-Screen on Wrong User Accounts

Hi,

it would be kind if you could fix this bug with a high priority as is really annoyoing:

If I install Newspaper and only install the MUST use Plugin (Visual Composer) but not the other suggetesd Plugins (like Jetpack, Contactform, socaial Counter tagdiv)… I will get on newly created Users (with custom Roles (=not having admin rights)) the following Admin Notice:

“Sorry, but you do not have the correct permissions to install the Contact form 7, Jetpack, Revolution slider and tagDiv social counter plugins. Contact the administrator of this site for help on getting the plugins installed.
Dismiss this notice.”

This is major Bug because of two things:
1.) These users do not habe any Install_Plugin Capabiities so will never be able to install a plugin! This does not make any sense at all, showing this message to a user, that only has subscriber rights/role etc…

2.) Secondly I have installed the must use plugins (but not the recommended plubings) and therefore all requirements are fulfilled. So this message should even for administrators not be printed, once the must use plugins (Visual Composer) is installed.

Code is in:

public function notices() {

global $current_screen;

// Remove nag on the install page.
if ( $this->is_tgmpa_page() ) {
return;
}

=>you should at least include a check if the user has the install_plugin capability!

=>I also reported some months ago a bug similar, wthere the Activation Messages is shown also to all users (this is a similar problem)…

thanks

Furthere more, if a user clicks the mutton, a wp_opütions entry will be created that unnecessarily fills the database (it does not make sense to store this in the database for users). Furthermore every Plageload this has to be read from the database and checked.. (ok will come from cache). But this is really a bug.

Thanks!
