    On our WordPress multisite network, when the error message “Please re-grant Google app permissions! Go to WP Mail SMTP plugin settings page. Click the “Remove Connection” button. Then click the “Allow plugin to send emails using your Google account” button and re-enable access.” appears, my local site admins cannot remove the bad connection. They click the Remove Connection button, but it does nothing.

    Instead, I as the Network Admin need to click the Remove Connection button to remove the bad connection. Then the local site admin can click the Allow plugin to send emails using your Google account to reauthorize the GMail connection.

    This really makes no sense. They are able to go to the WP Mail SMTP Settings page, see the error, and add a new connection. But they cannot remove a broken one. This is on WordPress v.5.4.4, and WP Mail SMTP v.2.3.1.

    The local site admins belong to a custom Site_Admin role that has permissions slightly less than a regular Administrator. Their permissions are:
