Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.
It turns out that if an admin creates content using an input format like "Full HTML" that a user type isn't set up for then that user type won't see an Edit button for that content page. This happens even if user has edit rights over the content, and is set to use some other input type like "Filtered HTML" which could easily be applied to the given content.
This situation arises when website content is created, and afterwards an admin narrows down the input formats different user types are allowed.
This problem stumped me for a whole morning. I'd thought it was a problem with nodeaccess module.

The input format id
For one the following: "filtered html", "full html", "php" etc. It's storing the input format that particular revision was saved with.

You are looking for the "filter_formats" table
The table "filter_formats" has a description of what each number means.
