Dear Sir/Madam,
I have custom posts and custom roles, in general, custom posts can be edit/delete by my own author, if I want to allow custom posts to be edit/delete by a group of the specific author, how can I set the access right using the Access?

You want all posts of some custom post type to be edited by a specific group of authors, yes?
The only way to create a "group" of authors is to make a custom role.
You can make a custom role which is a copy of the author role, but has some other name. You then assign this role to whichever authors should belong to the "group".
Dear Nigel,
Thanks for your reply. as I will have many same custom posts like "class", a "class" will be managed by several tutors, if I have hundreds of classes, then may I have hundreds of group? This is not possible. Any other possible solution?
Hello,
Toolset Access plugin can control the access to posts on post type level, that means you can setup a user role, for example "tutors", and enable privileges "Edit any" + "Delete any" to your custom post type "class" for user role "tutors", then all "tutors" users can edit/delete any "class" posts, see our document:

Dear Luo Yang,
Yes, I know about Access but it doesn't what I want. For example, I have tutors A, B, C, D, and E and I have classes, C1, C2, C3, how can I only allow
A, B, D can edit C1 while A, B, D are co-teach the class C1
A, C, D, E can edit C2
Is it true only using View to limit the access rather than the update from the dashboard?
There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset plugins or WordPress core, one post can have only one author, you might consider these:
1) Create a custom post type "tutors", setup each tutors post's author as different WordPress users
2) Setup many-to-many relationship between "tutors" and "class"
3) In single "tutors" post, display a post view:
- Query "class" posts
- Filter by post type relationship between "tutors" and "class"
- In Views loop, display the editing post form link + delete post form link
