Trouble editing Drupal nodes? Check your input formats!

I ran into an annoying problem today where members of a certain administrative role could not edit nodes on a Drupal site.

I checked the following:

  • The role had administer nodes, which should have given members the ability to edit any node.
  • The role had the edit foo permission and the edit own foo permission.
  • I tried getting rid of edit own foo in case it was conflicting with edit foo.
  • I reset the node_access table.
  • I emptied the cache.

Nonetheless, some nodes were editable, and some were not. Normally Drupal is very robust, and I just couldn't figure out why things were not working.
