Hello.
I set up a workflow so that I want authors to create and edit soem content, but after they have finished I want that only admin can edit/delete the content.
SO I have 4 states: draft, done (for the authors), moderated, published (for the admin).
After author has submitted to "done" state, he should be not more able to edit the content.

I am in administer >> site building >> workflow >> edit, "Access control" section.
In corresponce of "Roles who can edit posts in this state", I tick author only for the state "draft".

But the author is still able to edit the content. (I mean that there is still the "edit" tab when the author goes to the content node).
Am I missing anything?

Title: Access control: author can edit content, even if I change permissions in edit workflow » Access control not perfectly working: author can edit content without permission

Made a shorter title

I am having this issue as well. When the user has "edit own story" permission (in Administer >> User Management >> Access control) they have too many access rights - they can edit the story in all workflow states. When the user doesn't have "edit own story" permission, they can't edit storys in any state, including the state where is is checked that 'owner' can edit the story.

I have a even simpler workflow: Draft, Submitted, Published. In draft it is checked that owner can edit the post, and in submitted and published it is not.

Replying to my own comment
and the comment of silvnasono: check out this request: http://drupal.org/node/156028

It is very important.

Also, you should uncheck the "edit own content" permission in the normal access. workflow will ignore itself if that is checked and allow them to edit it in all states.

Sure seems to be the same issue.
