 * I am developing a school website where we are using front-end editor to allow
   2 types of users to edit custom posts on the front end, Parents & Teachers. Basically,
   I have noticed that it looks as if admin is the only one with control over editing
   posts. For instance, I login as a parent & submit a post (using gravity forms)
   and cannot edit that post, even though I am the default author of it. The only
   fix I have seen is to set everyone to admin, which is NOT something I want to
   do for obvious reasons.
 * I am using [Capabilities Manager](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/capsman/)
   to oversee user capability.
 * Bottom line, is there any way to make adjustments to user levels within Front-
   End Editor? Or if not, what are the base requirements for users to edit their
   own posts only?

 * This should just work. If a teacher creates a post from the admin area, can he
   then edit it via Front-end Editor?
 * If so, then it means it’s an issue with the Gravity Forms submission process.
   If not, it’s something else.

 * I have a grav form for logged in users to create posts. i have logged in, created
   this post, and do not have the ability to edit with Front-End Editor it unless
   I change the user level (via another admin account) to admin (10).
 * Could this be a bug with the Capabilities Manager plugin?

 * Please try creating a post through the normal admin interface and not through
   Gravity Forms.
