Description (last modified by )
As we did in #35614 for taxonomy terms, singular capabilities should be introduced for managing individual plugins.
This would allow fine-grained cap checks such as current_user_can( 'activate_plugin', $plugin_file )
.
This ticket covers activating and deactivating plugins.

38652.activate-deactivate.diff covers the following situations:
- Activate/Deactivate links on the Plugins listing screen.
- Actual activation and deactivation cap check, including bulk activation and deactivation.
- The 'Activate' link shown after a shiny plugin installation.
- The 'Activate Plugin' link shown after a non-shiny (ie. fallback) plugin update.
- Plugin error scraping.
It does not cover network activation/deactivation. This can be handled separately.

For clarity, the newly introduced activate_plugin
, deactivate_plugin
, and deactivate_plugins
meta capabilities all map to the existing activate_plugins
primitive capability, so there is of course no change in existing behaviour.

I decided to split this up a bit to avoid huge patches. This ticket now only addresses activating and deactivating plugins, and we can open other tickets for plugin editing, deletion, installation, etc, as necessary.
Patch attached.
