I have created a component in AEM 6.5.8 and gave author permissions to users. When they try to edit the component it shows “Null” and where as user with admin access is able to view and edit component without any issue. When checked the log files it shows it’s treating author users as anonymous users. Can some one please help me with this issue, thank you

@itsmevink Those user need to have more permissions in the  content tree. Add them to contributor group and/or any other custom groups which has proper permissions of both. Also if your component writes something on nodes outside /content then check if those permission is required or not to see the content.

Did u try adding your User in any other group, Try "content-authors" group and check.
