Bug: Delete Button Visible on Contributor Plugins Without Permission

Submitted by Huzaifa Al Mesbah May 21, 2026 Shipped Jun 11, 2026

The delete button appears on plugins where I’m a **contributor**, not the owner. Clicking it returns:

> You do not have permission to delete this item.

Expected

– Hide the delete button for contributor plugins, OR

– Replace it with **”Remove from My List”** — unlinks the plugin from my dashboard without deleting it

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to Dashboard > Plugins
  2. Find a plugin where your role is Contributor (not Developer)
  3. Click Delete
  4. See permission error

Note

Contributors should be able to remove a plugin from their personal list without deleting the actual plugin. The backend permission is correct — only the UI doesn’t reflect it.
