I've created a writers role, but I'm not able to configure the permissions exactly how I would like. Here are my requirements:

Be able to view all unpublished content
Edit only their content
Can not create content (they email me the content and I run it through my publishing process and then publish it myself but with their name as the author)

So far, I've gotten to the point where I can allow them to view their own unpublished content and edit it, but I would like them to be able to see everyone else's too. But if I enable "Administer nodes", then they can do anything they want, including editing other content and creating content.

Is what I want possible? Thanks!

The content access module should allow you to reach your goal.

Unfortunately, the module at this time is completely hands off with anything unpublished. I've reopened a feature request about it.

Thanks for pointing me at it though.

What if you have them use drupal instead of emailing you?

They post the content but it is unpublsished and you get it there.

That way when you modify it and then promote it to publised it is still theirs and they can edit it.

I'm really not looking to solve that problem, our publishing process works right now. I'm really just interested in letting all users of a particular role see all unpublished content, whether they authored it or not.

You might try this ...

I've also had some questions on how to configure unpublished content in a variety of ways.

You might have already done this, and I don't mean any slight, I just did a search on Drupal.org for "view unpublished content" and the first three items all look quite interesting and might do what you want.

Can't believe I missed that! You rock, just what I was looking for and very simple.
