Publication Workflow

2 Views

I am looking into having the two following roles:

  1. Editor
  2. Publisher

and the following different states a post can be in:

  1. Draft
  2. Ready for publication
  3. Published

The workflow I am seeking is:

  1. An editor writes a blogpost. It is a draft.
  2. Once it is final, the editor marks ist as ready for publication. From that moment on, the editor looses the ability to edit the blogpost.
  3. The publisher reviews, edits and publishes the blogpost.

Is this possible with WordPress?
If not, is there a state of the art plugin for such a workflow?
It seems like an obvious workflow.

  1. Allow me to translate the roles and states into WP parlance:

    Roles:

    1. Editor -> Author
    2. Publisher -> Editor

    States:

    1. Draft -> Draft
    2. Ready for publication -> Pending Review
    3. Published -> Published

    The only thing you need a plugin for is this bit:

    “From that moment on, the author looses the ability to edit the blogpost.”
