I have a Magazine Article content-type set up, and a corresponding Magazine Editor role who should have permissions to create and publish articles.
When logged in as administrator, I can see the usual Publishing Options tab at the bottom of the node edit screen for article nodes (ie: /node/56157/edit), with a checkbox to Publish the node. I can also see the Publish link in the admin sub-menu on a revision page (ie:/node/56157/revisions/60546/view). This is all correct.
However: when logged in as a Magazine Editor, I cannot see the Publishing Options tab at the bottom of the node edit screen. There are only three tabs present: "URL path settings", "Revision information" and "Meta tags". Neither do I see the Publish link when viewing an unpublished revision. I want to be able to publish Article nodes when logged in as a Magazine Editor.
Under the role permissions for the Magazine Editor (/admin/people/permissions/11), the following checkboxes are ticked:
Node:
View published content
View own unpublished content
View content revisions
Magazine Article: Create new content
Magazine Article: Edit own content
Magazine Article: Edit any content
Magazine Article: Delete own content
Magazine Article: Delete any content
Revisioning:
View revision status messages
Edit content revisions
Publish content revisions (of anyone's content)
Unpublish current revision (of anyone's content)
Magazine Article: View revisions of own content
Magazine Article: View revisions of anyone's content
Magazine Article: Publish revisions of own content
Magazine Article: Publish revisions of anyone's content
Googling seems to suggest that I need to set "Administer Nodes" permission under "Node". However, I'm unable to find a permission in the list that looks like "Administer Nodes".
Why are the Publishing options unavailable?
You need to enable the 'Administer Content' permission in the Node section.
You can set permission for publishing contents by using Publish Content module.
Features
Global un/publish any content
Per "node type" un/publish any [node type] content
Per user un/publish own [node type] content
(Optionally) adds a "Publish/unpublish" tab, action links or button for one-click un/publishing.
Exposes publish/unpublish links to your views, making it easy to streamline workflows for reviewers, editors and publishers.
Provides Organic Group permissions allowing group members the specific ability to publish or unpublish content.
Provides developer API hooks for programatically allowing or denying publishing access to content for site builders with specific needs
The Revisioning module changes the UI somewhat and is likely hiding that tab set. See the online documentation Specifically, the part about unpublishing content.
Unpublish?
In most revision moderation scenarios content does not
often get unpublished. Rather a different revision is made current
while the previous revisions is auto-archived.
To remove a piece of content (current and all revisions) from public
view without deleting it, you have to unpublish the node. You can do
this by unticking the appropriate box on the content editing form.
This requires the role to have the "Administer content" permission,
which also grants access to a few more options. If you don't want to
do this, give the role the more fine-grained "Unpublish current
revision" permission instead. Content may then be unpublished from the
Revisions tab that sits next to the View tab.
I am not sure that this will fix your problem "Bypass content access control" i also could not publish/unpublish the content.
We can use Override node options module to do this task.
Install module and go to admin->manage users->permissions->roles select a role you want, and click edit permissions.
find override node permissions then select content type you want give permissions to.

I have a news website belongs to old school, and I am receiving articles/opinions through email, and I manage adding theme my self.
I am planning now to switch to Wordpress and until I can enable all writers to post their articles by giving them "Contributor" role, is there any Wordpress plugin that enable Admin/Author to post an article in behalf of any "Contributor" user?
Thanks
Your editors don't need a plugin for this. On the admin page in which you edit posts (or pages) near the bottom there's a dropdown list from which your editor can select the post's author. The selected author shows up as the post's author on the front end.
Your contributors will be able to write and edit their own posts. But, only an editor or administrator can publish them: make them visible on the front end.
That's handy: it lets you have contributors you don't trust completely. Editors vet their work before it shows up on the site.
But, if your editors aren't diligent, your contributors will never see their work published. On a volunteer site (such as your application) they'll become discouraged and stop writing stuff.
You may want to err on the side of letting people publish stuff, then removing it if you don't like it, or if it's spam, or whatever. To do that you make people "editors" rather than contributors.
Yes , learn here about the editor role , you can create as many as editors from wp-admin panel and editors can create and modify the posts via their provided login or their created login.
Editor capabilities : https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Editor
You can also manage their capabilities by using : User Role Editor plugin
I don't know of any such plugins but if the number of articles posted by contributors are less than you can simply write that article and publish it. Once publish you can than change the author to any contributor from the list on the posts page.
I would like specific nodes to only be available to authenticated users in drupal 7. Most modules that I have seen are still in development.
Effectively I need to create a few members only pages. Basically any content in this node cannot be accessed is visitor is not logged in
I would probably go ahead and use the node access module even though it's in dev. The warnings are mostly the author trying to say he doesn't want to be held responsible.
Otherwise you'll need to manually do it by implementing hook_node_access in a custom module
The Node Option Premium module might do what you want.
This module adds a new node option Premium content along with core publishing options (Published, Promoted to front page, Sticky at top of lists).
When a node is published as premium content, only users with proper privileges may view the full content of the node.
Non-premium users can still access premium nodes but only get the content rendered in teaser context, even when trying to view the full content. An additional message informs them that the content is available to premium users only.
On my site a authorized user can create a content type called protocol. This can be saved as either published or unpublished by the user. I want to make a page containing a view called "My protocols" where the current user can go and view all the protocols which they are the author of, published and unpublished.
To do this I created the view "My protocols" with the Views module, which shows the protocols in an unformated list of teasers. I use the filters "Content: Type(=protocol)" and "(author) User:Current(Yes)". And for page settings I have :
Path:/my-protocols
Menu:Normal: My protocols
Access:Permission | View own unpublished content
I've tried varying the Access part with no succes.
And under people>permissions I have set to allow authorized users to: "View own unpublished content" and "Access content overview page" (and other stuff offcourse, but these the ones I taught might be related to my problem with Views)
When I try looking at the "My protocols" view logged in as a authorized user I can't get it to show unpublished content, and I have checked that this users has created content of the type protocol which is both published and unpublished. But when looking at the page when logged in as an administrator I see both published and unpublished content.
Is it for some reason not possible to do what I want to do? Or have I forgotten something? Or do I need to install some further module to do it?
I think this is because views uses the node_access table to check node access rights, but unpublished nodes are removed from the node_access table. You may try disabling "SQL rewriting" in the "Query settings" of the view, under the "Advanced" section. Not sure if that is the solution though.
I have created a Drupal 7 website where I want any (not just own) unpublished content to be editable for authenticated users. I wrote a module to change all the permissions so when I type the URL to edit the unpublished node with an authenticated user account it is editable.
The only thing I can't do is to display the unpublished node in the content overview page of the authenticated user.
Do you have any idea?
You can create a View which lists all unpublished content by all authors.
You may also want to keep track of this issue: http://drupal.org/node/1192074 since the View Unpublished module has the same problem you're experiencing.
How do I set content permission so that specific nodes are only visible to the admin user, while other nodes of the same content type may be visible by all users.
D6: Go to admin/user/permissions and make sure access content is unchecked for all roles.
D7: Go to admin/people/permissions and make sure View published content is unchecked for all roles other than Administrator
Best way would be to use Content Access module as it provides admin/structure/types/manage/content-type/access page to manage permissions.
There you can check PER CONTENT NODE ACCESS CONTROL SETTINGS to enable content level permission for different nodes of same content type.
Now you can go to node/node-id/access page to provide permission for particular node and only assign view any content permission to admin user.
If you don't want to go to the trouble of installing a new module you could just unpublish the content, then only administrators will be able to view it
