 * Hi!
 * I set up a user with only the rights to create a post and add media to it.
 * But I can´t save the post with this role, because there is no save button…
 * Thanks in advance for a quick reply!

 * Hi Matt,
 * List the capabilities you included into the role.

 * Hi Vladimir!
 * The role is allowed to: create posts, edit posts, edit attachements, upload files,
   read publish posts, manage links.
 * I limited the metaboxes, too: at “page” only: postimagediv, revisionsdiv, slugdiv,
   submitdiv and acf-group_57427ebf9fbde is set.
 * When I now go to the users dashboard I get the save and publish box shown. But
   when I create a post and want to save it, I get the message: You are not allowed
   to edit this post…
 * Then with one setting I had the possibility for revision of this post. This is
   what I need at least: that the super admin can check the post and publish it 
   at least:
 * At the admin instance I can see all posts, waiting to be published by the damin.
   That´s how it should work: the new role only has to create a post, edit the post
   as long as it is on his instance, then the admin checks the post and publishes
   it to a child instance.
 * More it is strange, that test posts are no more shown in the overview, which 
   I created last friday…
 * Thanks in advance for your efforts to help!
 * Matt

 * As you write that you use ‘create_posts’ capability, I suppose that you use Pro
   version.
    Check if there is no any edit posts restrictions applied for this role
   and/or for this user. This could be a reason why user can not save a new created
   post.
 * If ‘Submit for review’ button is not available check if you did not block suddenly
   a submitdiv meta box for the posts.
 * Try to deactivate all URE Pro add-ons temporally and test.
 * It’s better to ask Pro version related question at the role-editor.com forums.
