Editorial draft available to read. Factual and language review is pending. Examples are illustrative.
Map permissions to tasks
List drafting, editing, reviewing, publishing, pricing and user management. Grant necessary operations only. Job titles are insufficient; marketing may edit articles without changing commercial terms. Define approver cover to avoid shared-account shortcuts.
Design states and review
Define draft, pending review and published states with owners. Decide which changes require renewed review and translation updates. Keep meaningful history. Distinguish saving, previewing and publishing so the interface cannot imply an incorrect public state.
Test with separate accounts
Example: an editor drafts and submits but cannot publish or change pricing. A reviewer comments and a publisher approves a specific version. Test direct operation access and ensure revoked roles cannot keep using old authority on subsequent actions.
Key takeaways
- Separate preparation, review and publication according to content risk.
