Back in May, I wrote about the great work of Brad (beeradb) from the Aten Design Group. Brad helped figure out how to allow users with appropriate roles to view unpublished nodes without using the overkill of “administer nodes” permission which includes all content types.
Brad blogs about this solution on the Aten Design Group blog.
The next logical step was a few other admin override options to nodes. Brad once again shares this information with the Drupal community on their blog.
All of this to say that Drupal really needs to break out these permissions more such that distributed management of content types by various backend staff/business units independently. This should all be done without grating staff rights to do things we don’t want them to do (i.e. “administer nodes” permission).
Thanks to Brad and Aten Design Group for the help.
