I am trying to: Allow a custom user role, Medical Director, to edit a custom post type, Medical Clearances, from the WordPress admin.
Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link (login required)
I expected: The user to be able to modify the Medical Clearances custom post type with all privileges opened up in the Access Control Area.
Instead: Posts cannot be edited or viewed from the WordPress admin by this user role.
I was trying to setup a user that would have limited privileges, but still have access to the editing screen of the Medical Clearance custom post type. After my initial settings didn't work, I played around with a couple other configurations, copying settings from several other user roles, to no avail. I then opted to copy the settings straight from the Administrator role, and without having changed any options, still ended up without positive results.
I did notice, however, that if you switch the post type's access control to "Use the default WordPress read permissions" from "Managed by Access", it opens the posts up to editing by the Medical Director user role.
