Description
I would like to use the Temporary Offline version of the Frontpage module for all registered users.
Use case: filling a site with content on the Live environment while keeping it offline for anonymous users.
Currently the Temporary Offline message is only available for admins, but I would love an option in the Front Page module to override this and select roles that can pass the Offline version without giving them full admin rights on the site.

I'll tried the Site Configuration Permissions module, but that module didn't help either.
I expect, when checking the Access Front Page checkbox on the Permissions page for Authenticated Users, that they can pass the Temporary Offline message.

Interesting idea.
One way of approaching it would be to redirect authenticated users (users logged in) to a FULL HTML page that displays a message saying that it's temporary offline, please visit back here later.
that's not perfect...i.e. they can guess links and bypass that page.
If there's enough support for this feature request I'll consider it for the module update for drupal 7.x.

open back up this issue if you're still stuck.
