I am trying to: Edit Posts with permission of EDITOR Role... Since I've added Toolset Access recently I've had this issue and there was support ticket that was resolved.. https://toolset.com/forums/topic/field-groups-and-custom-fields-not-accessible-to-editor-role/ .. but now a similar issue where the EDITOR Role can't edit posts is cropping up

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link (not sure why there's the #no_privileges at the end of the URL)

I expected to see: When logged in as EDITOR I expected to be able to edit regular posts

Instead, I got: but it just doesn't open up but as an administrator I can

Note : As NIGEL is currently accessing the site and resolving other issues for other tickets I would appreciate if he could handle this one too..
