News Web Part "Add -> News post" not working

Hi,

Several of my users have this issue hat they can't add a "news post" via the Add menu. 

"News Links" can be posted as if there was no issue. When they click on "news post" nothing happens.

Not working in either Chrome, Edge or Firefox

I've found this issue from 2018, but unfortunately there was no solution provided:

Does anyone else have this issue?

Edit:

For anyone else who has this problem. It's just an access-rights thing.

I wanted my users to only see the "Add->News Post" button and not the +New button in the top left, so I gave them limited rights for the home.aspx. 

Turns out they need the "Edit Elements" right to add a news post.

Unfortunately they then also have the +New Button in the top left corner and they can add to and edit the whole home.aspx. 

As a workaround I removed the edit rights for the home.aspx, and added a button "new post" that links to https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/_layouts/15/CreateSitePage.aspx 

Not perfect, but kinda works
