Code suggestions: inform user that extension must be enabled by the group admin in GitLab

Background

We will be launching AI assisted code suggestions as a pre-installed extension in the GitLab web IDE in May. This issue is part of an epic for the UX portion of this project.

Context

Legally, the GitLab group admin must enable this feature before users can enable the extension. (Additional context). CleanShot_2023-04-18_at_16.33.04_2x

Problem

The extension will be visible to everyone, but disabled by default. Web IDE users cannot use the feature until the group admin has turned it on

Suggested solution

CleanShot_2023-04-18_at_16.23.27

When the user clicks the icon in the status bar, they get a notification that the group admin must enable the feature

Question

Is it possible to list the username of the group admins and group name in the notification? CleanShot_2023-04-18_at_16.35.14_2x
