Thanks for this great module. Almost exactly what I'm looking for, except for one thing. I've granted a role the ability to view unpublished nodes for a given content type, but that user is not able to find that unpublished content at /admin/content unless they happen to be the author. The only way to get to it is to know the URL. I could build a view to display all unpublished nodes, but that would mean a separate interface aside from /admin/content.

I don't want to go overboard by installing a bulky workflow module. All I want is for a couple roles to have access to unpublished content by any author of a particular node type, without having to grant "Bypass content access control." Any suggestions for what I can do here?

Thanks.

This should easily be sorted with a view. There's so many options for finding general content it's not a good idea to restrict it within a module like this one.

But then how do you allow bulk publishing if people can't use the content overview screen? I am having this same issue.. it seems that if the person has permissions to see unpublished content.. it should show up on the overview screen?

Checking around, this feature had been bumped out of this module in another issue -> http://drupal.org/node/786802#comment-4382066 , but I'd like to see it included here. It would just make it feel complete. One module that fixes all the view unpublished permissions in one neat package.

So the interim fix is to create a new view like the one proposed by thekevinday -> http://drupal.org/node/786802#comment-4076086
Keep in mind that you have to be logged in as user 1 to import a view: http://drupal.org/node/870938

Integrating that new page from Views with administration_menu however - that's where I'm stuck.

I will also add that this module is doing a great job of filling the gaping mess of a hole in the core Drupal install. Does anyone actually know *why* they don't allow you to have this permission by default? The docs article is suitably useless -> http://drupal.org/node/1106606

As another option, I found the fantastic Workbench Moderation module -> http://drupal.org/project/workbench_moderation that does the same thing as node_unpublished except when included with Workbench -> http://drupal.org/project/workbench gives you a really nice content editing interface for Drupal 7 allowing you to see whatever you want - published, unpublished, draft, other etc.

It's doing the job for our needs.

Marking this as a duplicate of #1192074: Respect View_Unpublished permissions on the Content overview page instead of "fixed."

IMHO, it's no fix to have to build out a separate view to give content managers an interface they already have in the content overview page...
