There’s a capability that’s named edit_others_posts, that you can assign to users or roles. But there’s also an easier way to do this: The (by default) hidden “Author” meta box.
How-to change the author of a post
1. Click the “screen options” tab on the upper right of the admin screen.
2. Check the “Author” checkbox
3. Choose the author of the post
