you seem to have missed to set access-rights.
like a unix-system pages are assigned to an owner and an owner-group. 
and also there are rights on owner, group, everyone to access (read, 
write, ...) these pages.
If you have created the pages with your admin-user who belongs to no 
group, your editors are 'everyone' who can not access anything of these 
pages.

you may edit the ownergroup in the web->access module (recursive) so 
your editors may edit these pages and content of these pages.

so you may not need to edit access-rights after each page creation you 
may configure your installation in that way that each pages created in 
this page tree gets this group as owner and get the correct rights set:

insert into page TS-Config:
TCEMAIN.permissions {
	// owner be_group
	groupid = 1
	// rights for owner, group, everyone:
	// enable all
	user = 31
	// edit content, show page, edit page
	group = 19
	// just show page
	everybody = 1
}

the rights are shown like:
+------------(1) show page
| +----------(2) Edit content
| | +--------(3) Edit page
| | | +------(4) Delete page
| | | | +----(5) New Pages
| | | | |
v x v x x

but be aware the bits are in another order and their values are:
bit (1) -> value  1
bit (2) -> value 16
bit (3) -> value  2
bit (4) -> value  4
bit (5) -> value  8
