That’s default Core behavior for the Author role. Authors can only edit and publish their own content – they can’t edit others’.
Here are all the capabilities of Authors – you’ll notice that ‘edit_others_posts’ is not in the list of capabilities.
A few ways you can accomplish your goal are:
- Use, or create, a user role plugin that adds the ‘edit_others_posts’ capability to the Author role
- Make your users Editors instead of Authors
- Create a plugin that adds a new custom role, with the same capabilities as Authors but with ‘edit_others_posts’ also added
