Hi!

I'm making this site where I try to give the different users different roles. The three main roles are:
- Visitors - people looking at the site
- Editors - People being allowed to edit and create new folders, articles and so on (but NOT allowed to publish)
- Admin - create users, change layout, publishing articles made by others and so on.

I'm struggling with the Editor-role. How can I allow people to create, edit and similar actions, but not allowing them to publish this at the same time? It's only the Admin that should be allowed to do this in this case.

And is it possible that the Admin receive an e-mail each time someone has made a new document or changed a previous one, so that this Admin can choose wether to publish this article or not?

If someone could help me with this, or guide me to some kind of related documentation I would be very thankful.

Check out workflows.
These allow your editors to create the articles, but wont get published until the admin (or whoever you set to be the approver) approves the content.
