 * I have a custom post set up on my site.
 * I have created a role with limited editing capabilities.
 * When I edit the custom post with the Classic Editor, I am able to add and remove
   the Featured Image. When I edit the custom post with the Block Editor, I am unable
   to add and remove the Featured Image (it is not even in the sidebar).
 * Any idea what is happening?

 * Hi [@zgall1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zgall1/)
 * Don’t forget to also check the “Media” permissions row in PublishPress Capabilities.
 * If that doesn’t work, contact us [https://publishpress.com/contact/](https://publishpress.com/contact/)
   with a screenshot of your permission settings.

 * The Media permissions row has only a Create checkbox. Is that normal?

 * Yes, that is the normal situation with Media Permissions.
 * In general, WordPress has not implemented distinct create / edit / delete capabilities
   for media type.
 * The “upload_files” permission generally covers all three aspects of file editing:
