Content Moderation Owner Permissions

Provides permissions to allow users to use workflow transitions only for content they created.

Drupal core content moderation doesn't provide permissions for all content and own content like it does for node editing. This module provides an own content permission for workflow transitions which allows users to transition content they created while restricting it for content created by others.

The problem this module solves is to allow a content editor to create new drafts of any content and only publish their own content. With the out of the box Drupal permissions, when you give a content editor permissions to publish content, they can publish any content they have permissions to edit. With this module you can remove the permission to publish any content and assign permission to only publish content that user has created.

Installing

Install with Composer:

composer require drupal/content_moderation_owner_permissions

Then enable the module through the UI or with Drush.

The module just provides a new set of permissions, so head over to the permissions page (/admin/people/permissions) and set the appropriate permissions.

Configuration
