Hopefully this is just my inexperience.. I had TAC and Workbench installed, Since workbench handled the state changes but didn't handle if a user could see the content, I decided to see what other options there were.

I have now installed workflow, TAC and rules. I am using TAC to control if content is seen by roles. I have created three workflow states. Draft, Needs Review, Published.

I have created rules so that if a node changes from published to needs review, then an action of un-publishing that node should be performed. But when I perform this action nothing is happens.
Workflow acknowledges the state change but the content is still visible to all users. any thoughts or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Well as usual, the minute i ask something, I turn yet another google corner and find the answer. Here is a link to Mustard Seed Media's pod cast talking about workflow and rules. It helped me greatly. Here you go . it covers rules and workflow in drupal 6 but the principles still apply in drupal 7

I want it to show unpublished in the summary view regardless of the owner as long as the role has permission to view that content

Hi! I'm new in drupal (and English too haha). I'm trying create a type of structure and I tested Maestro, Trigger, Workflow and Rules modules, but none them help me. When I finish a content, after updating a few times, I would like to close edition by the end date, and only a particular user had permission to reopen the content type to be edited. After close to update content, it would be possible to automate permission for the user to update other content (or webform)? Example: I create a content of content type A and update with others users. After a certain date, closes and can no longer be edited. After closing, you can edit content of content type B and same for content type C. With webform I can close and it's a formulary, it would better, but content type also useful.

Hi Laiserosa, You can add

Hi Laiserosa,
You can add date field to all of your content types - With start and end date.
Implements hook_node_access (https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!node!node.api.php/function/hook_node_access/7) where you can check the date and the user role and depends of them to return access or no access for editing.

Have a look at Revisioning
