Hi, @Rajasekar Chinnaiyan 

In order to give someone permission to edit a Confluence page, you must also grant them edit permissions at the space level.
If a person only has view permissions for the space, they still won’t be able to edit pages, regardless of any permissions you set on the page itself.

Thanks Evgenii. I've ensured the confluence space is open to all with Edit access but still no luck
