Quoting Stefan Seefeld seefeld@sympatico.ca:
Huh. Earlier today I attempted to explain to some user how to write and edit content (pages, say), save it, but only publish it later once the page is ready. Do I need to be an admin to publish / unpublish nodes ?
Yes. But I can understand why you would want to allow the authenticated user to do this. I took a guess that someone else might have had the desire to do this. I went searching the list of modules for the word publish and found this http://drupal.org/project/override_node_options that might help.
