Hello Carolyn, First, there are a few things I would suggest checking that could potentially cause differences in authorization:
- Is there a chance these specific items are mapped from other collections? In that case they would keep authorizations from the original collection. - Are the affected administrator accounts a part of any custom authorization groups? - This seems unlikely, but are the admins able to access the Edit page by manually adding `/edit` to the URL? In case of some UI-only error with the button. Second, does this behavior happen only for collection-level administrators of a specific collection, or also for community-level and/or site-wide administrators? If you are able to get to Edit Item from a site-wide admin account, you should be able to view the item-level policies by going to Status -> Authorizations (relevant documentation <https://wiki.lyrasis.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=379126414>).
