For some reason the Editor role does not get access to the edit taxonomy screen on my site. Maybe that is expected behavior, I dont know - But how can I add this to the editor role capabilities?

Johan, Questions and Answers are different creatures. You can answer your own question & the button has this very name... I suspect someone hasn't read the FAQ ;)– brasofiloCommented Jul 10, 2012 at 8:45

Right after I wrote the posts I found it...anyway if someone else is looking for the answer to this, you need to set capabilities when you register your taxonomy. You add the following:
'capabilities' => array (
'manage_terms' => 'edit_posts',
'edit_terms' => 'edit_posts',
'delete_terms' => 'edit_posts',
'assign_terms' => 'edit_posts'
)
edit_posts means administrator', 'editor', 'author' and 'contributor'.

Note that plugins can alter the default roles and add new roles with any mix of capabilities. That said edit_posts is a good cap if you want all authors to be able to edit the taxonomy. Make sure they can't delete taxonomy terms unless you want them to. Commented Feb 22, 2016 at 21:06
