I do not have admin rights on a customer system.
On this system I'm just a developer.
we built a new group of developers called "Role Editor" and gave them all rights for Metabox (so I hope).
I see the menu structure.
But when I want to open CPT it tells me I have no rights to do so.
What do I have to do to continue working with Metabox?
Hello,
You can use a third-party plugin like User Role Editor to add capabilities to the developer role to access Meta Box pages (post types).
https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/
We use this plugin (free)
what settings i have to set to have access to metabox ?
You can go to Users > User Role Editor > Assign capabilities to the custom role. For example: manage_options, all capabilities in the Core section. For further information, please read more here

i now how to work with the plug
in the user Role editor there ist nothing with METABOX that i could aktivate.
what i want to now what METABOX need to be work if i am NOT a Administrato User.
If you are not an administrator user, you need to have the right capabilities to access the CPT of Meta Box to create field groups, post types, taxonomies, views ...
See this screenshot https://imgur.com/eMDtzdv
Thats a have already set ...
but i get -> Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.
Hello,
Can you please share some screenshots of the capabilities for the custom role? Or you can try to contact User Role Editor support to get more information.
i got mail support from Vladimir Garagulia the devop from User Role Editor.
As shown at the screenshot below, Meta Box uses 'activate_plugins' capability to protects its top admin menu items. Role entwickler has full access to the Meta Box menu after I grant it to this role."
now all works fine
