Hi!
I need to grant permission for a given role to be able to set the author for nodes of a specific content type. The 'administer nodes' permission obviuosly doesn't do the job as it will grant this permission for all content types. Anyone knows if a quick and dirty hack the best (most simple) solution, or is there an easier way?

For a node type, go to administer-->User Management-->Permissions, and give edit permissions for
'edit any Content-type-A'.

This will allow the role to edit the content type and hence change authoring information consequently.

Hi! I tried this before and strangely it does not work. It allowes the user to change other users posts, but not modify the authoring information. :(

I tried, but for drupal 6 it doesn't work. User is able to edit any content, but cant change authoring option.

I can't find a way to give permission to change the author for specific content types only. Any ideas anybody? This is important for our translators.

http://drupal.org/project/override_node_options
Allows you to set permissions by role to be able to edit the node's Authoring Information for a specific content type. Also allows you to do the same for the Publications Options.
