Just found a strange bug/abnormality…
We created a Admin group with access to everything except the some items in control panel access.
There was only one content channel with a single field group and no category group or status group.
Now whenever this user try to edit or create a entry it sets the status to closed. Where as, as Super Admin it is open.
Only way to fix this was to add the status to the channel.
I wasn’t sure if this was meant to happen or maybe one of those 1% things when you would have the status group attached to a channel.
