# Users editing user posts

 * Hiya. At the moment, the only user who can edit everything is the admin, but 
   how can I do so that all users with fx level 8 can edit other users posts and
   pages with the same level?
 * Because if one of my users with level 8 makes a page, and another user with level
   8, he cannot edit the page.
 * Anyone know any way around this? I don’t want to have one user for all the people.
 * Thanks

 * There is a code in another thread here, that is supposed to do this. But I tried
   it last week and it doesn’t actually work. The code I got from here allows User
   Lvl 8 to see the “Edit” button for other User Lvl 8 posts, and to access the 
   Edit Post page. But when 8A clicks “Save” to save changes on 8B’s post, the error
   message is: **“You cannot post as this user.”** I assume this is because it is
   still “Posted by 8B”.
 * Anyone know a work-around? On my site I want all User Level 4’s to be able to
   edit each other, and anyone below 4.
