Recently updated to v2.6.1 and I have an issue now where users are not able to edit content authored by other authors. In this case the user group in question has "Can edit entries authored by others" set to yes but whenever the user tried to edit it won't allow it. Any ideas?
Thanks!

It is most likely that the correct permissions aren't set on the Member group to which the users belong to.
Go to Members > Member Groups, click on the member group in question and scroll down to the Channel Posting Privileges. Check these settings and ensure that Can edit entries authored by others is set to Yes. Save that and try again.
I'm having the exact same problem here. Upgraded from 2.5.* to 2.6.1 and my users in a custom group called 'beheerder' can't edit entries without setting a super-admin as the author of a page.
The super-admins are the only ones that show up in the dropdown field.
And yes, my 'beheerder' group has the right to the specific channel assigned to them and has been authorized to change entries posted by others.
I also have the problem with EE 2.6.1 I checked "Include user in PUBLISH page multi-author list?" as mentioned above, but users A can´t edit an entry from user B. But if user B changes the author from A to B, so that he´s the author, he can edit and save.
This is not really what I want.
The Member Account Privileges are correct for the entire memer group and the individual member.
I hit this same issue with 2.7.2, so posting in case it helps anyone else. I had two issues. One was that I had to change preferences for the editing Member Group to enable 'Can change the author name when posting channel entries', even though I am not changing the author. Second, I had to change the privileges of the original author Member Group to enable 'Can edit entries authored by others', even though it is their own record that is being edited on their behalf by the other Member Group.
Here is the code that was throwing the error for me, maybe when I have time I'll see if it's 'fixable':
if ($data['author_id'] != ee()->session->userdata('member_id') && ee()->session->userdata('group_id') != 1)
{
if ( ! isset($this->_cache['orig_author_id']) OR $data['author_id'] != $this->_cache['orig_author_id'])
{
if (ee()->session->userdata('can_assign_post_authors') != 'y')
{
$this->_set_error('not_authorized', 'author');
}...
