[Resolved] Permission Denied on Edit Form

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

Problem:
When my users try to reach a certain Posts Edit form the are presented a message "permission denied".
I am sure the Access settings are not at fault as the issue persists with Just Toolset Forms and no other plugin.

Solution:
Make sure the ShortCode of Toolset Forms is not malformed, since for example not closing (missing the last bracket for example) ShortCodes will throw the same error "permission denied"

I am trying to: I get an Access Denied on the Edit Form that I think I setup correctly. Here is the video explaining: hidden link

Beda was helping me with this issue before. If he can help me again please. Thank you!

Please head back to Toolset > Access Control, find "Toolset Forms" tab and set the proper rights to the user role you want to be able to use that Edit Form.

Then, the issue will be solved.

Beda, I forgot to show in the video that the Toolset Form Access was also allowed for Authors. Look at the screenshot. It still does not work.

I don't think the previous screenshot was big enough... took new ones

The only reason I can see is that the user you use is not the author.
If the user you use is the author, I see no reason that should not work if the proper access settings are set.

I also confirmed locally that this works fine with Access 2.7.1

You might need to resave the settings, or, if that does not help, check that no other plugin or theme is causing this issue.

If that is not the case, please provide me access to the site (ONLY if I am allowed to make any form of test on that site, if not, please provide me with a duplicate https://toolset.com/faq/provide-supporters-copy-site/)
==> Older access data is removed as soon the ticket is resolved, hence I do not have that anymore from the previous ticket

Thank you!
