 * I want the users to only be able to edit their own (prewritten) posts – nothing
   else (and publish/unpublish them)
 * And the should not be able to see, or change, anything else either in adminmode–
   no tags, no categorys and plug in and so on…
 * Is that possible – and if so, how?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fonly-edit-own-posts%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@hbgnu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hbgnu/)
 * To allow users edit custom posts only you need to grant “Edit Posts”, “Publish
   Posts”, “Read”, and “Edit Published Posts” capabilities under “Posts” tab in 
   Members > Roles > Your role section.
 * I hope that helps.
