Publicize: editors cannot connect an account

[jeherve]

Impacted plugin

Jetpack

Quick summary

Editors do not have access to the Publicize settings in wp-admin, and do not have a link to Jetpack Cloud to manage their social connections there instead.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start with a site running the Jetpack plugin, and connected to WordPress.com.
2. Go to Jetpack > Settings > Sharing
3. Enable Publicize
4. Go to Users > Add New
5. Create a new user with the editor role
6. In a new browser, log in to the site with that new role.
7. In another tab, log in to another WordPress.com account of yours.
8. Go to Jetpack > Settings > Sharing
9. Connect your editor account to that other WordPress.com account.

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Once the connection is complete, I expect I would find settings to connect my own social networks.

What actually happened

configCard() isn't displayed at all:

Initial_State.socialInitialState.useAdminUiV1 returns true, because Current_Plan::supports( 'social-connections-management' ) returns true.

@jeherve, Editors and Authors can add accounts from the Social Editor now on the Jetpack and Jetpack Social plugins. Atomic users can't do this though.

Perhaps we should mention that authors and editors can do this from the editor sidebar in the block editor, while we work out how to solve this in the wp-admin Social screen.

That'd be nice indeed!
