Bug Description

Here's the scenario

• I set up analytics and allow key metrics
• I disconnect analytics
• The 'Analytics is disconnected' CTA appears for admin. This is fine.
• However, it also appears for editors with view-only access, which is not expected. They don't have the ability to connect analytics and thus, the CTA should not appear.
  Screenshot attached below.

Acceptance criteria

• When Analytics has been connected and then disconnected, view-only users should see the "Analytics is disconnected" banner and tile without the "Connect Analytics" CTA or "Maybe later" link, replaced with the message: "Metrics cannot be displayed without Analytics. To fix the issue, contact your administrator."
• Admin users continue to see the existing "Connect Analytics" CTA and "Maybe later" link unchanged.

Implementation Brief

• In assets/js/modules/analytics-4/components/widgets/ConnectGA4CTAWidget.js, when useViewOnly() returns true:
  • Replace the description with a message that directs the user to contact their administrator (e.g. "Metrics cannot be displayed without Analytics. To fix the issue, contact your administrator.").
  • Set ctaButton to undefined (hide the "Connect Analytics" button).
  • Set footer to undefined (hide the "Maybe later" link).
  • Follow the existing pattern in AnalyticsDisconnectedNotice.js (assets/js/components/email-reporting/notices/AnalyticsDisconnectedNotice.js) which already handles view-only correctly.
• In assets/js/components/KeyMetrics/ConnectModuleCTATile.js, when useViewOnly() returns true:
  • Do not render the "Connect [module]" <Link> element (the handleConnectModule callback from useActivateModuleCallback already returns null for non-admin users, but the link itself still renders with a non-functional click handler — it should be hidden entirely).
• Storybook: Add a view-only story variant to ConnectGA4CTAWidget.stories.js.

Test Coverage

• Add a test case in ConnectGA4CTAWidget.test.js for the view-only context.

QA Brief

• Set up Site Kit with Google Analytics.
• Set up Key Metrics and ensure a handful of GA KM widgets are added to the dashboard.
• Now disconnect Analytics.
• Verify that the "Analytics is disconnected" notification appears with the CTA as expected.
• Log in as a view-only user.
• Verify that the "Analytics is disconnected" notification appears, but without the CTA, according to the ACs.
• Verify that any tile showing the Analytics disconnected notice does not show the CTA.

Changelog entry

• Fixed the "Analytics is disconnected" CTA banner and tile to hide actionable connect buttons for view-only users.
