[development] node family, node profile permissions problems

[Christopher M. Jones]

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this question. I asked on the 
support list, but didn't get an answer. And this is somewhat urgent.

I've got a content type set up as a lonely node profile. The problem I'm 
having is that nobody can edit a node of this type, except the user who 
authored it-- not even user 1. I can see how this would be by design. 
But in my case I need to allow members of an editor role to have access 
to other users' node profiles.

I've made sure that the editor role has all the permissions they need in 
Users->Access Control (create, edit, edit own), and I don't see any 
other permissions related settings in any of the above modules' configs. 
I've done everything else I could think of to do: clearing cache, 
rebuilding permissions, etc.

I think I'm going to have to hack some code, which I'm up for, but I'm 
not sure where to start. Can anyone give me a hand? Like I said, this is 
about to become extremely urgent, so any help is greatly appreciated.
