Description
While the author can always edit the node, the editors only seem to be able to edit a node after it was published.
#1
I have looked into this again, but there does not seem to be a way to allow editors to edit a node that has not yet been published. We use the module to allow several people to collaboratively work on a node for publication and, once that is done, to do occasional updates afterwards. Without the first step working, we cannot go to the second one. Is there any way to change the settings so that unpublished nodes can be edited by editors and not only node-authors? Thanks for any support!
#2
I have looked into this some more. Using the Publish Content module it is possible to allow editors to see an unpublished node, but even with Publish Content it is not possible to allow them to edit a node (unless you allow them to edit all nodes, of course, but that makes the use of Coherent Access rather pointless).
There is a lot of interest in this and I think it would be marvellous if Coherent Access could make that work. Without this feature, we cannot use the module as we will never get the content to the "published" stage in the first instance.
#3
I believe the functionality you are looking for would be provided by setting the node to private, and assigning edit/view permissions as appropriate. I had configuration problems when initially setting this up (more details here: #605852: Setting node to "Private" does not limit view access.).
Please repost after considering this advice if you are still having an issue.
