For the thread: editableby wasn't the cause in our case. The real issue was= the Element view setting on the a-tabs resource type, found in the module's .co= nfig file at /system/modules/org.opencms.apollo.template.tabs/.config. It was se= t to System elements, which requires Admin-level access =E2=80=94 so the Tabs Ed= itPoint was filtered out for the Editor-role users, even though nested content inside t= he tabs (under "Content elements") remained editable. Changing Element view to Content elements and republishing the .config fixe= d it. One question though =E2=80=94 since this is a module-level setting, it appl= ies across all sites using this tabs template. Is there any major downside or risk to changing this Element view sitewide, or is it generally safe to leave a-tab= s on "Content elements" going forward? Thanks again for the help narrowing this down.
