[support] permission problem

[Bill Fitzgerald]

A combination of workflow and workflow access would achieve this.

Create a two workflow states: draft and published

For draft, only allow the author and site admins to see and edit the node.

For published, allow authenticated users to see the node.

This eliminates the need for giving users admin node rights (something 
not to be done lightly), and lets you assign crud rights on a 
content-type by content-type basis.

Cheers,

Bill
