[support] Site queue for users

[Bruce Whealton]

Well, I want even visitors (anonymous users) to be able to submit content but
  I don't want them to be able to publish.  I want administrators to have to publish 
  content from the queue.  I know this can be done.  I did this back when I used 
  Drupal 4.7 and then I got away from Drupal for a while.
  Thanks,
  Bruce

  I think it was discussed earlier here that you can't give different roles different *default* settings for each content type, but you can give users access by role to view and publish content. The Mercer book has a pretty good overview of user permissions. I'm sure there is more info in the Drupal.org Handbook.

You need to go into User Management and first create the roles you want. When I am setting up sites for other people, I typically have a role for webmaster (me), another for site owner, and so on. For my scout troop site there is webmaster, scout leader, and scout member. Then you can go into the User Management/Access Control screen and check off the permissions for each role. 

You may want to go to User Settings and make it so new registrations need admin approval.

          I want to make sure that most users on my site, 
  including visitors and all others besides those I specify,
  to have all of their content go into a queue and not be
  published without approval from administrators.  If I go to the
  Default Options under Workflow and uncheck Published will
  that put their stories, and etc. into the queue?  And those 
  users cannot publish themselves, correct?  Only those who
  can view the queue can publish content submitted to the site, 
  correct?  That is what I want.
         If I want to let a user group/role (what is the correct 
  term?) called "Contributors" actually be able to review content 
  from the queue and publish it, or to be able to select whether 
  or not their content is published, how do I do that?  How do I 
  give a user that option of being able to select Published for their
  content?
  Thanks,
  Bruce
