Problem:
How can I prevent that only Post Authors can access the update form?

Solution:
Go to the Toolset → Access Control page and click the Toolset Forms tab and click to expand the "Post Forms Front-end access group" and find your form name and adjust the permissions to "Edit Own" and save the permissions (you should revoke the "Edit Others" permissions).

Currently I update custom posts by a Edit Post Form. And that is working fine. But I see that (if any user knows the URL) any user can update the post by pasting the URl in the browser. How can I prevent that only Post Authors can access the update form?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

What if you try to control the form using Toolset Access.

Go to the Toolset → Access Control page and click the Toolset Forms tab and click to expand the "Post Forms Front-end access group" and find your form name and adjust the permissions to "Edit Own" and save the permissions (you should revoke the "Edit Others" permissions).

Does that helps?
