Description
I always work as admin, so only recently noticed that if I login as an author, I cannot see the menu "Pages", although I have several pages created under that author.
If I would try to use direct link:
http://site.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page
I get error:
"Cheatin’ uh?"
Using: WordPress 4.1-beta2-30793

As noted above, the Author role does not have edit_pages capability by default.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Authors doesn't have the "edit_pages" capability by default. This by design.
You may upgrade your authors to editors, or add "edit_pages" to the capabilities of Author on your site. For this you will probably need a plugin.
