I am using Drupal 4.7.2 with workflow module and admin block module.

The following is my defined workflow
submit > edit > review > publish
associated roles are
author> content editor > content reviewer > content publisher

My problem here is: How can a content editor or content reviewer gets notified when there is workflow status change for a node, so they can engage in their job and the workflow can connect?

The only way I know so far is assign content editor and content reviewer with "admin node" privilege so they can check the status of each node. But once they got assigned this privilege, they can do whatever they want, including deletion, publishing, promotion... Then the workflow rule is broken.

Any idea for this? thanks!
