I'm a first time contributor and would like to work on this. How do i get started? |

We have a contributing guide as per most repositories. We don’t have anyone to coach you through issues, so you may want to start with an issue marked help wanted as these are the ones we think are suitable for contributors. |

Good to know @ErisDS thanks, I’ll find one of those. |

When you're logged in as E.g. an author, the admin panel isn't good at telling you why you can't edit a post. I've found two specific cases - the /edit URL and search, but I think they are both very similar.
To Reproduce
Case 1: search
Case 2: /edit
/editto the end of the URLIn both cases, there should be IMO a banner error saying you don't have permission.
In the case of search, we probably shouldn't be showing post the user can't edit at all?
