How to have 2 authors edit same page, not editor

    I am using Twenty Fourteen as a non-blog, non-post website. Each of our committees have web pages associated with their particular area (e.g., salmon programs or gardens or art, etc.).

    How do I give 2 different people Author roles so they can each edit/publish the same pages either one of them may create, but not have access to other committee web pages? That is, I don’t want to give them Editor roles.

    I could give them 1 Author account that they could share, but then I wouldn’t be able to differentiate their work in the edit logs.

    Thank you…

    Well, a lot I don’t know. I guess I can’t give them 1 Author account to share or even 1 account each since the Author role only allows the management of Posts, not Pages. Weird. Why is that?

    My website does not use Posts, just Pages.

    Is there another way I can grant an author-like role to more than one person so that they can only author their pages, but not others’ pages?

    I’d rather not give them the Editor role as that allows access to every page.

    Thank you…

    I installed the WPFront User Role Editor plugin and it has given me some pretty slick control over roles.
