There may be chances that the nodes the users are trying to edit may be in an input format and they are not permitted to use. So check the input format of the node and if its “Full HTML” or “PHP Code” then they won’t even see the edit tab. For this, you need to either change the input format so that they can access it at “admin/settings/filters”. Also check that the user has permission to edit that node, “admin/user/permission”.

This problem may occur and it is likely to be related to the “Input Format”. If the node is set to default settings” Filtered HTML” tags like object, img, script etc, then it will be stripped out. So assign the role in question access to the “Full HTML” input format or create a custom Input Format and include the tags that you want.

You can either Google search with the exact errors you have encountered. You can also check the Drupal.org website or independent blogs containing solutions to the problems.
