Hello Geeks - I am a web developer for a Christian University in Toronto Canada (www.tyndale.ca). We have recently switched to Drupal and really enjoying it. I have about 200 people who can login (LDAP) to the Authenticated role of which about 60-70 will be active editors.
I have the permissions set that they can create content and can edit/delete their own content in a moderated role. We had started by using modr8 (http://drupal.org/project/modr8) but it seemed to provide little more than the published feature built into core.
I have since changed to Workflow (http://drupal.org/project/workflow) which seems to be giving me much more power. I have setup the states of Draft, Ready for Review, and Published. General "Editor" role can move from Draft to Ready for Review with our Webteam moving it to Published. A "Senior Editor" role can move the content to published but only on their own content.
My next challenge is to allow multiple people to edit certain pieces of content without opening the flood gates to everyone to edit it. We are using Organic Groups to manage some Academic Department sites and want to leave that as is.
I was looking at nodeaccess (http://drupal.org/project/nodeaccess) which to my understanding could allow the users themselves to grant rights to other users to share the editing role with each other. This sounds good to me as it gives them the ability to manage the exceptions to our general rules.
However I am concerned as to how the Workflow module and the nodeaccess module would work together. Has anyone had any experience using the two together? Any advise?
