    Can't Publish or Approve pages on a MOSS 2007 Publishing Site

    Hi,

    I am the site owner of a publishing site collection but am not able to publish or approve a page.

    I have permission to edit a page but do not have the options to publish, only to start a workflow or send for approval.

    Obviously, as the site owner i would imagine i would have full permissions... (?) I have exactly the same permissions on a collaboration portal and i am able to publish as expected.

    Anybody seen this before?

    Cheers, Ste.

    Re: Can't Publish or Approve pages on a MOSS 2007 Publishing Site (SOLVED)

    Thanks for your reply.

    Yeah, I've tried this with no success.

    I create my web application and then create a site collection using the "Publishing Portal".

    No matter what privilages I set to a user they cannot see any "Publish" button. They have to submit pages for approval. I tried this several times on different set-ups with the same result.

    However, when I create a "Collaboration Portal" this behaves as I would expect with the appropriate accounts have the "Publish" button.

    Cheers, Ste.

    PROBLEM SOLVED - The "Publishing Portal" had approval workflow switched on as default. I have removed this workflow from the pages document library. All site owners now see the "Publish" button.
