#31573 new enhancement
wp_admin_bar_my_sites_menu should check for super admin capabilities

Description
Currently the "Network Admin" segment of the admin bar is only added for super admins. This could be done in a more granular way by using the corresponding super admin capabilities.
I am currently adding this myself with code similar to this:
if ( current_user_can( 'manage_network_users' ) ) {
$groups[] = array(
'parent' => 'network-admin',
'id' => 'network-admin-u',
'title' => __( 'Users' ),
'href' => network_admin_url( 'users.php' ),
);
}
To make this useful the suggestions in #16860 would also have to be implemented.
With BuddyPress now also using more granular checks for super admin capabilities this would allow for a much more refined access control to the network admin area. In my case I need the possibility to allow individual users the activate and edit user accounts, but have no access to other areas of the network admin in a multisite installation.

Thanks for mentioning this @swissspidy!
@thomaslhotta In [39948] this was improved at least to some extend. The individual Network Admin items in the admin bar are now displayed based on capabilities. However the manage_network capability is still required in any case. So it is now possible to show a user only the Network Users screen by granting them the manage_network and manage_network_users capabilities.
Hi @thomaslhotta, thanks for the ticket!
It would interesting to explore what all we could do here. We may be able to introduce a
manage_networkcapability and then wrap the individual menu areas for themes, plugins, etc...
