Currently, the view all permissions only applies to published content.
Currently, users need admin privileges in order to view and publish content.

I have need of giving certain logged in users the ability to only view unpublished content that they do not own.
I also have need of a separate group that can not only view but publish/unpublish content that they do not own.
Both of these users are non-admins and should not be able to edit the post or perform any other administrative content commands.

You can use rules for that: add a cck field for publishing, configure its field permission and once checked use a rule to actually publish the node.

I am not sure if I didn't word things properly in my initial statement or if I am misunderstanding what you said.

i was asking two separate but related requests.
You seemed to have answered the second one where I was needing to deal with allowing users to publish and unpublish content.
Thank you for that suggestion.

However, the first request was asking if you could implement the ability to specify which groups can/cannot view unpublished content that they do not own.
I am not understanding how rules would apply for this specific request.

I definitely would appreciate the first request, I have a group of writers that I would like them all have the ability to view each other's unpublished content (but not edit).

Look at the modr8 module.

modr8 is not an access control module and it explicitly states: "This is NOT an access control module, however, so posts that are in moderation can still be viewed if a user knows the path (URL) corresponding to that post."

What is being asked here is for access control on whether groups can/cannot view unpublished content.
This means knowing the path or not, they can/cannot access the post accordingly.

Exactly, and that's why it would work. The node access system will NEVER make unpublished nodes accessible.

You may have to combine modr8 with an access module to cover all of your requirements.
