I have created a custom user role (Site Admin) which was working perfectly well. Now for some unknown reason that role will not allow the user to edit pages in the Divi Builder. However, they can edit in visual builder.

Hi,

I assume we are talking about this case:
Create a custom user role "Site Admin" with option: Copy privileges from "Administrator".
And you don't want to display the "Divi" menu for those "Site Admin" users.

If it is, the Divi theme is using "manage_options" capability to check the current user's role, you can try this:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Access control, find the user role "Site Admin", click link "Change permissions", disable option "manage_options", but as a result, it will disable other features, for example:
- WordPress settings
- Toolset

Since they are sharing the same capability: manage_options

My issue is resolved for now. Thank you!
But I feel that it is too broad and may cause potential problems when setting up other custom user roles.
