The supplied source text does not include the body of the announcement. What was provided consists of the page title and a large block of WordPress theme CSS variables, editor canvas styles, preset font sizes, alignment and screen-reader utility classes, and border-style rules. No permission names, policy scopes, administrative settings, rollout dates, plan eligibility, or configuration steps appear in the excerpt.

Any statement about how the permissions are configured, which enterprise tiers receive them, or what agent actions they govern would go beyond the provided text and is therefore omitted.
