 * Is it possible to limit user editing to a specific couple of custom post types?

 * Yes, by adding this code in your functions.php file:
 *     ```
       function fee_restrict_post_types( $allow, $data ) {
       	$allowed_post_types = array( 'page', 'foo' );
   
       	$current_post_type = get_post_type( $data['post_id'] );
   
       	return $allow && in_array( $current_post_type, $allowed_post_types );
       }
       add_filter( 'front_end_editor_allow_post', 'fee_restrict_post_types', 10, 2 );
       ```
   
 * Obviously, change `$allowed_post_types` to what you need.
