Comment:

 By design. Authors can Publish posts/pages/CPT's, Contributors can write
 articles, however it must be approved before publishing.

 For CPT's, you can specify different permissions by using the capabilities
 option when registering the post type.
 ([http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type see the
 codex])

 The
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Capability_vs._Role_Table
 Capability vs. Role] table in the codex is a good visual example of which
 each role can do by default.
