 * Hello 🙂
    I need users to give access to a page. But the plugin only works if
   i give them ‘edit_others_posts’ capability – but i dont want them to be able 
   to edit others posts. Only their own. What can i do to make it work?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpermissions-111%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Same. It appears this no longer works. It used to work.

 * I got it working. I assigned the role Page Editor to the user (not Author) and
   I allowed “Edit Pages” but did not allow OR DISALLOW “Edit Others’ Pages”. This
   seems to be enough to allow the user to only edit pages they’re a co-author on.
   
   It may take saving the permissions again on the latest version of WordPress, 
   but I’m not sure.
 * If you need to be able to edit roles, you can get the plugin Members:
