Hi,

Would really appreciate it if I can just get a confirmation on this -- that the "maintain books" permission in 4.6 doesn't do anything. In other words, it's not working.

Related nodes where I also confirmed/raised the issue:

My bad. "Maintain books" works after all.

Tested the permission again and found out that a user with the aforementioned access can edit some of the nodes after all, and these nodes were created after a certain date. So I looked into the modules I installed after that date, and, to cut to the chase, found out that the culprit was TinyMCE. Well, indirectly, that is. :)

Turned out I was using a new customized input format -- per advice of TinyMCE install instructions -- and the older nodes that were created with the default filtered HTML format couldn't be edited. So all I have to do now is change the input format of these older nodes to the new input format I set for TinyMCE. :)

At any rate, perhaps someone can figure out why the new format, or old format for that matter, made the book module act that way. :)
