Hi André,

Go to ‘Settings->User Role Editor->Additional Modules’ tab and turn ON this option:
“Activate “Create” capability for posts/pages/custom post types”.

User without ‘create_posts’, ‘create_pages’, ‘create_‘ will can not add new items in related CPT after that. Do not forget to add ‘create_%’ capability to the roles, which should be capable to add new items.
