User can't edit own content
Hi,
I'm very new to Drupal and have a lot to learn... :-) This site is really helpful.
One thing which is really tripping me up is the following:
I have set up a test user with rights to create a particular type of content. They (should )also have the right to edit this content.
In fact, once the content is saved, it no longer shows up in the user's account. It can't be found in order to be edited.
Why doesn't the content show in the account?
TIA! :-)

User Permissions
The thing to do is to review the user permissions at /admin/user/permissions. Look at the "node module" section. Within that section look for "access content" to make sure that's check for the authenticated user. Also make sure the appropriate "edit own..." boxes are checked.
Sorry, still not getting this right....
Thanks for taking the time...
I'm still not getting this right.
I'm setting up a bed & breakfast listings site.
I have created a Role type "BB Hosts". The idea is to allow each host to set up their own page and edit the content.
I have also set up a new content type "Accommodation entry"
On the permissions page, Node Module section, I have given the "BB Host" role permission to:
Access content
Create host content
Delete own host content
Edit own host content
The BB Host user can definitely create their own content but can't access this content to edit it.
The only way I seem to be able to allow the edit is to grant rights to the System module > "Access Administration Pages"
But if I do that, they seem to be able to edit *any* content.
I'm making a stupid mistake but I don't know what it is :-)
Help!

Rob, Sorry... I'm not getting
Rob,
Sorry... I'm not getting notifications of a reply...
It seems that what I am experiencing is the expected Drupal behavior (?)
I was expecting an easier way to edit content than having to navigate to it and then using the edit link.
My workaround is to enable the 'Tracker' module. This gives a link to 'Recent Posts' and 'My recent posts'. Good enough for me at the moment.
Thanks :-)
