Creating a role to edit a specific CPT

Hi!

I’m trying to create a role in WordPress that will only work (create, edit, delete) with a custom post type that I’ve created (Mapas).
The problem is that when I log in to the site with a user that has assigned that role, I cannot enter the dashboard to edit the posts of that CPT. I can see the admin bar in the top of the page but if I clic on the dashboard link or inside Add > Media it is loading every time to the same page, the published page, not loading the admin area. It’s like I have not permission to enter the dashboard.

Here’s the code I’m using:

<?php

// New CPT Mapas
function cpt_maps_init() {
	$labels = array(
		'name'               => _x( 'Mapas', 'post type general name', 'wow' ),
		'singular_name'      => _x( 'Mapa', 'post type singular name', 'wow' ),
		'menu_name'          => _x( 'Cartoteca', 'admin menu', 'wow' ),
		'name_admin_bar'     => _x( 'Mapa', 'add new on admin bar', 'wow' ),
		'add_new'            => _x( 'Añadir nuevo', 'book', 'wow' ),
		'add_new_item'       => __( 'Añadir nuevo mapa', 'wow' ),
		'new_item'           => __( 'Nuevo mapa', 'wow' ),
		'edit_item'          => __( 'Editar mapa', 'wow' ),
		'view_item'          => __( 'Ver mapa', 'wow' ),
		'all_items'          => __( 'Todos los mapas', 'wow' ),
		'search_items'       => __( 'Buscar mapas', 'wow' ),
		'parent_item_colon'  => __( 'Mapas superiores:', 'wow' ),
		'not_found'          => __( 'No se han encontrado mapas.', 'wow' ),
		'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No se han encontrado mapas en la papelera.', 'wow' )
	);

	$args = array(
		'labels'             => $labels,
    'description'        => __( 'Colección de mapas', 'wow' ),
		'public'             => true,
		'publicly_queryable' => true,
		'show_ui'            => true,
		'show_in_menu'       => true,
		'query_var'          => true,
		'rewrite'            => array( 'slug' => 'mapas' ),     			            
		'capability_type'     => array('mapas', 'mapa'),
        'map_meta_cap'        => true,
		'has_archive'        => true,
		'hierarchical'       => false,
		'menu_position'      => null,
		'supports'           => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'comments', 'revisions', 'custom-fields' ),
		'menu_icon'				=> 'dashicons-admin-site',
		'taxonomies'  			=> array( 'category', 'post_tag', 'lugar' )
	);
	
	register_post_type( 'map', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'cpt_maps_init' );

// New role Cartógrafo
function add_cartografo_role() {
	add_role('cartografo',
		'Cartógrafo',
		array(
		'read' => true,
		'edit_posts' => false,
		'delete_posts' => false,
		'publish_posts' => false,
		'upload_files' => true,
		)
	);
}
add_action('admin_init', 'add_cartografo_role' );

// Add capabilities to role
function add_maps_role_caps() {
    // Add the roles you'd like to administer the custom post types
    $roles = array('editor','administrator', 'cartografo');

    // Loop through each role and assign capabilities
    foreach($roles as $the_role) { 

        $role = get_role($the_role);

        $role->add_cap( 'read' );
        $role->add_cap( 'read_mapas');
        $role->add_cap( 'read_private_mapas' );
        $role->add_cap( 'edit_mapas' );
        $role->add_cap( 'edit_others_mapas' );
        $role->add_cap( 'edit_published_mapas' );
        $role->add_cap( 'publish_mapas' );
        $role->add_cap( 'delete_others_mapas' );
        $role->add_cap( 'delete_private_mapas' );
        $role->add_cap( 'delete_published_mapas' );
 }
}
add_action('admin_init','add_maps_role_caps',999);

I’ve tried changing post capabilities when creating the role to true, and that way I can access the dashboard but I can edit any type of post and that is not what I want, I just only need access to edit Mapas posts.

Can anyone help me? Thanks!
