00705: Publishing of drafts - permissions issues
Description: After 00142 has been implemented, I'd like to suggest that there should be
- separate permissions for saving as draft and saving as standard page
- separate permission for reading standard pages and drafts
That would make it possible to build a workflow so that one group of authors can change pages with the drafts remaining unpublished until one higher-privileged author publishes the draft.
That's not very wiki-ish, but sort of a standard requirement for corporate intranets :-) I guess it's a CMS-type feature.
And maybe I missed this because I didn't adapt my templates to 2.1, but in case it doesn't exist yet, I'd also like to suggest:
- A button View Draft Version
I guess I could automatically generate lists of drafts with the usual (:pagelist:) markup, selecting by the draft extension?

The separate write permission levels exist, 'edit' and 'publish', see $EnablePublishAttr. Separate reading permissions are not enabled; for Bloge I ended up writing a wrapper for $AuthFunction that implemented this, so that any page ending in -Draft requires 'edit' permissions instead of just 'read'. See also AutoSave for a special action for deleting a draft. —Eemeli Aro August 20, 2009, at 12:58 PM
