Component:  General     |     Version:  2.6                        
 Severity:  normal      |    Keywords:  role, publication, workflow

 == Issue ==

 Posts and static pages created by a user with {{{Administrator}}} role
 can't be edited by other users with {{{Editor}}} role.


 == Expected result ==

 Users with {{{Editor}}} role and above (i.e. {{{Editor}}}s and
 {{{Administrator}}}s) should be allowed to edit any other post or page,
 including those created by other Editors (which is currently the case) but
 also those created by Administrators.


 == Question ==

 Is this a bug a a feature ? :)


 == My opinion ==

 I think Editors should be in charge of the whole publication workflow,
 which mean they should be able to act on the editorial content, edit it,
 unpublish it, republish it, etc. whoever the original author is. I see
 Administrators as normal Editors with all extra permissions required to do
 "technical" stuff (plugin managment, configuration, maintenance, ... and
 ultimately moderation within the Editor population).
