Tell us what you are trying to do?
Setting Author role to not be able to edit or delete their published custom content type ("Property") posts. They can only publish - they cannot edit or delete. If you try to do this in Access, it forces you to allow them to do all three.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I have found functions.php snippets I am testing. Information on that below:

---

I tried the following on a test stage and it works. (code below)

However, once the Author publishes their Property post, it directs them to hidden link afterward, which then gives them access to publishing blogs - which we don't want.
We only want them to be able to publish a Property.

Is there a way to do what I am trying to do through Access?

Thanks,
Corey

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - there is no option to delete the "Edit own" and "Delete Own" capabilities with Toolset Types as when you set the "publish" it will automatically set "Edit own" and "Delete Own" capabilities as its required for publish capability.

I do not have any solution to offer here, maybe you should restrict the edit.php by some custom code/filter and redirect user by checking if user role is author and if they try to access the edit.php

Please check the following link that may help you to construct such a solution:
