Add 'View Plugins' global capability that allows to list plugins
At the moment only the Gerrit administrators can list the installed
plugins. However which plugins are installed may be also interesting
to project owners and users because they want to know which
functionality is available to them. Hiding the 'Plugins' > 'Installed'
menu is bad since this screen is the entry point to the documentation
of the installed plugins. This documentation may be relevant to normal
users.
Since being able to see the list of installed plugin may be considered
as security risk, by default still only administrators are able to
list them, but now the new capability allows to assign this permission
also to other users.
