What permissions affect fields attached to taxonomies that don't affect fields attached to content types? On a D7 site, I created a Description field (using filtered text with ckeditor) and a Geolocation field using a Googlemap widget.  

I attached them to a content type called Accommodation, and they behaved as I expected - ie, I got a rich text editor on Description, and a map on the Geolocation field, when logged in with any role that would allow me to edit a node of that content type. 

I attached the same fields, with the same settings, to a Taxonomy, and found that I could only see the map and ckeditor if logged in as an administrator. 

If I logged in with another role, the googlemap and rich text editor would not appear, although I was still able to create a taxonomy item, and they did appear on the same fields shown on a node create form  -  just not on the taxonomy item create form. 

I have all taxonomy permissions turned on for authenticated users.
Leaving an answer in case it's useful to anyone else. 

The permission that was affecting the display of taxonomy ckedit and geolocation fields was 'View the administration theme' - it looks like the Open Framework theme has a small issue when displaying taxonomy edit field forms. 

I should have just changed to a default theme to test this.
