[support] How-to allow other users to edit content created byothers

[Metzler, David]

People with Administer Nodes permission can change the owner,  modify
any content, as well as override comment/publishing defaults.

Thanks a lot again for your help.

When I did a quick test yesterday, I just got rid of && ($user->uid ==
$node->uid) and what happened was the people that weren't the author
couldn't delete even though is was under the if 'delete' || 'update'.
Not sure why, but that was the behaviour. I found it interesting as
well, that the author immediately changed to the new editor, which was a
little unwanted/unexpected. I guess there is a hook somewhere to allow
users with the 'edit all stories' permission to edit the author
information as well... currently I think only user 0 can do that.
