I can't see my collection/single-types as an editor or author, when localization is added

I’m on the community version of Strapi but I would assume this works regardless of version.

Basically, whenever a collection- and singletype has localization option enabled I can’t see this type when I’m logged in as author or editor. Furthermore, I can’t even update permissions.

I just tried and tested the “FoodAdvisor v2” which has localization and the same problem is present there. This to me is very odd.

Hi, I’ve encountered the same issue on version 4.16.2, also community edition. Did you ever find a fix for this? For my use case, it’s not a huge problem to have all the content managers as super admins, but this is hardly a fool proof solution.

I ended up finding the reason after messing around with permissions some more. Kinda ashamed but will leave it here for future generations:

The author and editor roles came with pre-configured permissions for the contents I created. The icon used made me think they had all the necessary permissions, but it was actually a “-” sign, not a “check mark” signs. The original permissions had conditional statements like “can only see if creator”.

I had to give necessary permissions manually to the roles, but it worked ok afterwards!
