 * Hi Paul,
 * This is Aj the developer. Because the notification bar uses the WordPress Customizer
   the only way to allow an editor to update the notice would be to allow access
   to the Customizer to your editor, which would be done by giving your editor role
   a new “[cap](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_role/add_cap/)”
   of “edit_theme_options”.
 * I’m not sure if you are a developer or have a team that could help but it would
   also be possible to create a custom setting somewhere in the WP admin that your
   editor could access to edit the message. If you have an editor that needs access
   to admin settings it may not be a bad idea to make them their own admin page 
   where they can tweak some of these things.
 * The message itself is stored in a theme_mod named “easy_nb” which returns an 
   array of all the settings so you would be updating the item in the array with
   a key of “message” via [set_theme_mod](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/set_theme_mod/)
   or [remove_theme_mod](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/remove_theme_mod/).
 * If you trust your editor enough to modify a notice and link that is shown at 
   the top of your site, perhaps they could just be made an admin though?
