I am trying to set permissions for different user types

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: Admin screen

I expected to see: That the user in question would be able to edit every Speaker node as set in Access Control

Instead, I got: Some nodes are not set as links and the user can only 'View' those nodes

Hi,

The problem you mentioned above is abnormal, I have tried your website settings in my localhost, it works fine, the user in "Editor" role can edit other Speaker posts without problem. I suggest you check these:
1) In case it is a compatibility problem, please deactivate other plugins, and switch to wordpress default theme 2017, and test again

2) If the problem still persists, please provide database dump file(ZIP file) of your website, I need to test and debug it in my localhost, thanks

Hi, sorry it has taken me a while to do this as I have several people working on the site and I needed to find the ideal time to do this.

I disabled all plugins on the site with the exception of Toolset Access and Toolset Types and I reverted to the WordPress default theme 2017 and the problem still persisted. I also cleared the caches and logged my test user in and out.

I have a database and a code dump which are in Google Drive. Below is the link to the folder to download these. Hope this helps and looking forward to finding a solution!

Regards

Patrick
