Gato GraphQL v6.0 has been released. Check out the release notes in GitHub for the complete list of changes.
Important: After updating the plugin (i.e. not installing anew), you need to deactivate and then re-activate the plugin, otherwise the "GraphiQL" and "Schema" items won't appear on the menu.

Added "Schema Editing Access" module
Grant non-admin users access to create and manage endpoints.
Decide which users can access the GraphiQL and Interactive schema clients in the admin, and are able to edit the GraphQL schema, by selecting the appropriate configuration from the dropdown in the "Plugin Configuration > Schema Editing Access" tab on the Settings page:
Users with capability: "gatogql_manage_graphql_schema"Users with role: "administrator"Users with any role: "administrator", "editor"Users with any role: "administrator", "editor", "author"
The first option (Users with capability: "gatogql_manage_graphql_schema") is selected by default, granting access to users with the administrator role only.
