Create a user in the Administrator user group.
Login as the Administrator user.
The Home Dashboard shows a Notifications panel with red notices for Unknown Joomla ... and Error on checking overrides.
Expected result
No errors or no Notices
Actual result
Selecting Unknown Joomla leads to 403 You don't have permission to access this. Please contact a website administrator if this is incorrect.
Selecting Error on checking overrides leads to the Templates: Templates (Site) page.
System information (as much as possible)
Additional comments
The solution is to set the Access levels for the two Quick Icons involved to Super User, Which the Administrator can do. Should they be set to Super User by default?

The Notifications module has Access set to Special. Maybe that should be set to Super Users and the Plugins left at Public.
that makes no sense at all as we want the admin to know there is a new version available. Why are you trying to hide it
Administrator can't update joomla so hiding it is a valid solution (better then a error message)
Having looked at the coding, some more information.
The Quick Icon plugins use this sort of check:
!$this->getApplication()->getIdentity()->authorise('core.manage', 'com_joomlaupdate')
com_joomlaupdate does not have a Permissions tab in its Options so I guess inherits the Global permissions. For Administrator that would include Access Administrator Interface: Allowed (but an Administrator is not allowed to update Joomla)
com_templates has Access Administrator Interface: Allowed for Administrator but although the Administrator user is allowed to see the Site Templates he cannot edit them.
So it seems to me the optimum solution seems to be the change of Access level to Super User in the relevant plugins.
Surely that is not a solution as we do want an admin to know if there is a new version available
