Hi,

I want to allow 2 or 3 different users to edit certains pages of the site, using a custom role based on the Editor role.
- If I use the "edit their own page" option, it won't work as only one author can be set.
- If I use the default Editor capabilities, they can edit any pages.

In the Group page option of Access plugin, it only allows to control the "read" option. (sorry, screenshot in French)

Am I missing something?
