 * Hello,
 * I need to give access in a specific user role “edit_others_posts”, without affecting
   the other posts.
 * I am sending you some screenshots to explain my issue.

 * Is that possible?
 * Thank you.

 * ‘Fields’ is a custom post type which uses the WordPress default ‘post’ capability
   type. Thus granting ‘edit_others_posts’ capability you affect all other custom
   post type which use the same capability type, including WordPress default posts.
 * One of the possible workarounds is described [here](https://www.role-editor.com/documentation/manage-access-to-custom-post-types/).

 * So we will see the solution proposed with the Pro version.
    Is there a Demo installation
   to try? Could we have a trial version?
 * Thank you.
