allow edit of custom post type but not regular posts?

1. You could install one of many plugins like this to restrict access for different user roles http://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-access-manager/

   Or you could remove the admin menu links to any items you want for a specific user using PHP code.

2. This worked for me – with no plugins.
   User that is allowed to edit/add only posts from custom type ‘job’:

   add_action( 'current_screen', 'jobs_block_edit' );
   function jobs_block_edit() {
       global $current_screen;
   
       $restricted = current_user_can('job_user') && (
               ($current_screen->base=='edit' && $current_screen->id!='edit-job') || 
               ($current_screen->base=='post' && $current_screen->id!='job')
           );
   
       if ($restricted) {
           exit( wp_redirect( home_url( '/' ) ) );
       }
   }
