Per the recommend setup an editor is given the permission "View all unpublished content".

However if a site has (3) content types and only (1) has moderation turned - the editor can still see all unpublished.

Feature request is to limit the permission from "Vial all unpublished content." to "Vial all moderated unpublished content."

Similar to http://drupal.org/project/view_unpublished

Thanks!

I would like to add a point here. why an editor could only view an unpublished content?

If this one has the permission "Edit any [content_type] content" added to "View all unpublished content", could he not access the content in "edit" mode too?

Or maybe, in order to cover all cases, I would be interesting to have the following permission:

  • View all moderated unpublished content (as suggested by HyperGlide);
  • Edit any moderated unpublished content;
  • Delete any moderated unpublished content.

What do you think about that?

jyraya -- Both of your points would work for our use case. However I would still lean towards the permission in the initial post.

Thanks!

For our use case, being able to set a permission of "View [Content Type] Unpublished Content" would be best. We have several content types and editors dedicated to each of them, but those editors should not be able to view the unpublished content for content types they are not able to moderate.

I'm currently looking for an answer to this because it causes a great deal of confusion in our use case.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

@wickwood - At this time I am not aware of any way to accomplish this. A new patch is required, if you can help write. I can assist in testing.

OK, I created a patch yesterday and it works for me. I don't have a lot of experience actually generating patch files, so hopefully this will also work for you.

The new permissions are for admins/moderators to view all unpublished content of a certain type. I did not restrict this to having $conf['workbench_moderation_per_node_type'] = TRUE because I thought having this set of permissions may be more common than having to workflow permissions per content type. But they may always go together.

The better way to handle both of these issues may be to have the options to turn them on and off with admin UI.

Anyway, let me know what you think.

Also, I don't know anything yet about running tests on patches.
