How to edit layers which are using via OSM Bright in Tilemill

Question

How could i edit a map which is edited via OSM Bright in TileMill? Layers are in TM added via PostGis. OSM Bright it's simply built according to informations here. I need delete some roads also delete labels. I have deleted and edited .shp file in ArcGisfrom project folder of TileMill but after saving of the .shp file and starting TM there are no any changes. Thanks for help.

I think it could be resolve by editing of .shp but it's still without changes. Do you think that changes could be shown after "re-postGis" to pgsql.

If the data you're styling in Tilemill is coming from PostGIS, then use QGIS to connect to your PostGIS database, and make the edits there.

Now I can't remember if you'd have to re-start Tilemill or not, but even if so, the data should show up as changed in Tilemill as it isn't 'cached' until you export / upload it as tiles.

Regarding user roles in PostGIS editing, try running the following in the PGAdmin SQL Window:

select * from information_schema.role_table_grants where grantee='yourUserName';

You'll then see your privileges on all the tables you have access to.

You can refine the query to find out what access you have on a given table by using a where clause with the above query:

select * from information_schema.role_table_grants where grantee='yourUserName' and table_name='tableName';

You can edit this table in QGIS if you have the INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE privileges...
