[Resolved] Create a form to edit only own posts

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to create a form that would allow their customers to only edit their own posts.

Solution:

This should be possible with our access plugin.

Could you install it and then set the permissions of the custom post type to Edit_Own for the role.

I am trying to: make an edit form for my users to be able to edit their own posts in our intranet environment.

I expected to see: when clicking edit only be able to edit own posts (where author = logged in user). Or only an edit button on the own posts, in posts from others no button (or grayed out).

Instead, I got: I think I can edit every post, also from others.
