Requires the Jetpack plugin on WordPress 6.9+. Abilities are registered by several bundled Jetpack packages (automattic/jetpack-backup, jetpack-connection, jetpack-forms, jetpack-stats) plus the main plugin's own registrars for Related Posts, Shortlinks, Sitemaps, Newsletter/Subscriptions, and Monitor. Permission requirements vary by ability — most gate on 'manage_options', 'jetpack_admin_page', or 'view_stats', while Forms abilities use 'edit_pages'. Backup abilities only register when a Backup product/plan is active; Sitemaps, Monitor, and Newsletter abilities only register when their respective module is turned on.
