Problem Description
The "Update Info" button, which notifies users that a new version is available, is currently shown to all users. However, informing regular users that a new version is available (but not installed yet and with nothing they can do about it) offers little to no value. When updates are frequent, this notification becomes a distraction for normal users.
Desired Solution you'd like
Do not show it too all users but only admins.

Hm i am pretty sure this is already only shown to admins
But as a workaround you can optionally enable OFFLINE_MODE which disables these notifications

My bad. I must have been mistaken while switching back and forth between admin and user roles. I took a quick look at the code before posting the issue, where it does not check the user role. However, the checkForVersionUpdates call does verify the user role earlier.
