Hi Nivedita,

just a guess: The <cms:container> tag takes an attribute "editableby". 
If this is set for the nested containers and a role higher than 
ROLE.EDITOR is required, that could be the case.

Here's the documentation for the tag: 
https://documentation.opencms.org/javadoc/tld/cms/container.html

Best, Daniel.
