Allowing User Roles to View Unpublished Content in Drupal
Intro: I have unpublished content that comes via CCK-built registration form and I want specific User Roles to be able to access (view) it but not edit it.
Problem: Only User Roles with "Administer Node" rights can access (view) unpublished content, but this also give them Edit rights. In this case, I don't want the people who are evaluating incoming applications to be able to edit the applications. This is more for their protection than anything else.
Solution:
1) Work something out with panels that evaluates the Author's Role and if that User Role = Applicant, then only allow the Authenticated (Acting) User to view the Node...........Actually, I don't think this will work...
which is why I went with this
2) The View Unpublished Module places an additional permissions section into admin/user/permissions that allows you to specify which roles can View unpublished content (on a per content type basis.)
