    I think I mostly understand the permissions, my Users can only see the pages I’ve assigned to them. But I have one question...

    What I would like to do is this:

    Step 1: User edits page and saves it. (page does not go live to the world)
    Step 2: Admin approves changes. (page goes live to the world

    Is this possible in MODx Evolution?

    If so, does the admin get a notification that the page has pending changes?

      give that user a role that has not permission to publish the resource
      + "Send email notifications when a document is saved" http://modxrules.com/articles/send-email-notifications-when-a-document-is-saved

        Thanks, that is awesome!I get emails now!

        But, I am still having the issue where the changes are automatically published.

        Maybe I am doing something wrong.

        The permissions look right, they do not have the ability to publish (box is grayed out in the page settings).

        When a user makes the change and saves the resource, the resource stays published, along with the new changes.

        I would like the changes to remain non-public until the page is approved (or at the very least, unpublish the page), this seems like a fundamental feature, I must be missing something..

          Yeah, if it’s already published those steps wont help.

          You could probably use a onDocFormSave plugin to unpublish it, however then you’ll end up with existing pages being unpublished..

          Creating a local copy somewhere which can be accepted by the admin would probably be the only fool-proof method of doing this..

            I am not a programmer by any means, but you unpublish idea would be perfect.

            Is there any plugin code out there that could be used for this, I would love to give it a try..

            Also found this, it may work too:

              Have there been any changes to the page publishing user rights? Or is this changed in Revolution?

              I either need a fix for this, so that my compliance people can look at the website changes before they go live, or I need to go with another product.
