Forms not opening in edit mode in Xpages

I am testing a simple web app developed with Xpages using a dummy account with Author privileges. After doing some fine tuning on the app and copying it back on the server, I found that the forms are opening in read-mode only whenever I use the dummy account, but works fine if I use the admin account. I even elevated the dummy account to Manager level and restarted the server, but I still get the same results. Any ideas on why this is happening?

check the ACL and when you use author Names Fields then be sure to do a document1.computeWidthForm()
