Hi, I have a scenario where a user posts a comment that needs to be approved before being published (very frequent on I guess).
When the comment is not approved, I would like the user to be able to view it and modify it. At the moment, the user gets an "Access denied" page, although the permission "Edit own comments" is set.
The comment is only editable once it has been approved (=published).

Is there a workaround or module I have missed that does just that?

Thanks Audster, I'll have a look at that.
But actually I was trying to find something easier, to just change user permission so that they can see their unpublished comment.
It would be the equivalent of the "view_unpublished" module (http://drupal.org/project/view_unpublished), but not for nodes, for comments...

Yep thanks, I had noticed that module too, but it actually allows a user to view and edit comments made by other users on his own content, which unfortunately is not what I am looking for.

I am seeing a lot of "almost solutions" as well.

I posted your post here as well, because at least the module had a discussion about this very thing, see:

http://drupal.org/node/964698

They were sure to remind me that you weren't talking about forums, so I clarified that you were looking for this functionality basically via any module that could do it...

you can tweak this user_tweaks module and thereby create your own module as well..

It seems that you will have to either change your design, change a module that comes close or be willing to code a module for yourself to get this functionality exactly as you want it.
