Problem/Motivation

#332796: Add permissions to the update.module to hide warnings β†’ was released before the release managers had signed off. There's concern that new sites that configure partial admin roles with the administer site configuration role might not know to grant the new view update notifications perm (or whatever it ends up being called). Since we want these notifications to go to as many folks as possible, we can have a status report warning for these cases.

This was discussed and proposed at #3284204: Drupal Usability Meeting 2022-06-10 β†’ .

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Add a warning at /admin/reports/status if there are roles configured with "administer site configuration" that do not have "view update notifications".

Remaining tasks

  1. Finalize and commit πŸ› Fix the label and description of the new "view update notifications" permission Needs review so we know what the new perm is really called. Hence postponed and "[PP-1]".
  2. Decide on wording for this status report warning.
  3. Implement.
  4. Add tests.
  5. Reviews / refinements.
  6. Usability review.
  7. Release manager review.
  8. RTBC.
