hi pete,
are you trying to access custom entities ?
if so, you have to give privileges to access custom entities manually for each security role except System Administrator .
By default only system administrator role will get privileges to access all entities (system/custom).
to give privileges navigate to Settings-->Administration-->Security Roles-->CEO-->select Custom Entities tab--> give read/write privileges.
Thanks and Regards. Make sure to "Vote as Helpful" and "Mark As Answer",if you get answer of your question.
