I have created a new User Role, called Client. In permissions, I grant this role permission to create stories, and edit it's own stories only.
I create a user in this role, called Jim. I log in as Jim. Jim can indeed create stories, but Content does not appear at all under Administer -> Content Management. The story can be edited using the tabs immediately after it's creation, but there is no way to edit it subsequently.
When logged in as Admin, Jim's story is clearly in the system. When I grant Clients Administer Nodes permissions, then Jim can edit everyone's stories, including his own, but this isn't what I want.
This is all on a fresh install of Drupal 6.14. I have made no changes to Input Formats - everything is at default settings.
I am still fairly new to Drupal - am I missing something here? Why can't Jim edit his own stories?

Only for users with 'administer nodes' permission
The Administer->Content Management->Content list can only be viewed by users with the 'administer nodes' permission in Drupal 6. Jim can still edit his own stories; he just doesn't have permission to see that particular administrative screen. You can use the views module to create a view by user that lists all the content for the currently logged in user if you're having difficulty finding content once it's created.
