# Problem with editing permissions

 * Hello!
 * I have a problem with the editing permissions of a custom post type for a new
   role.
    The new role creates a new CPT and stays as its creator, saves it and 
   the Save button says “Submit for review”. At this time the new CPT can still 
   be edited by the user creator. But the moment the admin edits or publishes the
   post it can no longer be edited by the user. Is there any way to allow the user
   to edit the CPT even if the admin edits or publishes it? Thank you in advance.
   Greetings

 * Not through CPT permissions, the user’s role needs “edit_published_posts” capability.
   One of the various role and capability plugins will let you alter role capabilities.
   The code to do so is relatively simple if you don’t want to use a plugin. The
   addition persists, so the addition code only needs to be run once.
