Access to unpublished node

Same problem. Would really like to be able to restrict access to unpublished nodes for anonymous users, and any users who haven't been granted the permission to publish/unpublish nodes (of selected content types).

I know in http://drupal.org/node/346888, it was noted that this was a core issue in 6, and it looks like it's still a core issue in D7, however they've appeared to add documentation for module developers to address the issue. See http://drupal.org/node/920614 for reference.

I'm not familiar enough with module development to offer a fix. I would be happy to help test or offer whatever help I can to get this fixed.

As the project page says that this module is unsupported, should I just abandon this module and find another option to get around this issue? I really like how this module functions, and think it's a valuable option that I hope will continue to be available and maintained (and wish I had the experience to maintain it; just wanted to voice my opinion that I think it's a great module). Thanks!

Thank you both, for reporting the issue and the links to the discussions about it.

Attached is a patch that will address the issue.

Nodeaccess will now cede control for unpublished nodes to the default Drupal permissions. So if a node is unpublished, the users will only see it if 1) they are authors AND have 'view own unpublished content' permission or 2) if they have 'bypass node access' permission.

Please note that this only covers the 'View' access.

I will push it to dev shortly.

Pushed to dev, added to 7.x-1.0 release.
