WP_REST_Plugins_Controller::get_items_permissions_check() WordPress Method

The WP_REST_Plugins_Controller::get_items_permissions_check() method is used to check if a user has permission to perform the `get_plugins` REST API action. This method is called before the `get_plugins` REST API action is executed. If this method returns false, then the `get_plugins` REST API action will not be executed. To check if a user has permission to perform the `get_plugins` REST API action, this method does the following: 1. Checks if the user is logged in. 2. Checks if the user has the `edit_posts` capability. 3. Checks if the user has the `activate_plugins` capability. If all of the above checks return true, then the user has permission to perform the `get_plugins` REST API action. Otherwise, the user does not have permission to perform the `get_plugins` REST API action.
