[TYPO3-workflow] create page workflow problem

[philippe]

hi everybody
 
i have created a usergroup 'e' (editors) with rights to list but not to
modify tables 'page' & 'pagecontent'. then i created a simple workflow for
the creation of pages and started it by assigning it to usergroup 'e'. the
task appears in the task center as expected under the todo items. after
accrpting the task i try to edit the pageheader (pressing 'edit page
header'-button, still in the taskcenter, using the workflow) i don't see
anything. obviously i'm not allowed to edit the header. i also made sure i
have access to the created invisible page by checking if usergroup 'e' has
access to the hidden page (by using the admin-account of course). if i add
the 'page'-table to the modify tables list of the usergroup 'e', i can edit
the header as expected. but this isn't a solution, as i can edit any
page-header now outside of the workflow.
adding 'new versions' to my workflow still doesn't allow me to edit the
header. i thought the workflow temporarily grants the user admin-rights
(says the manual) so the permission to edit the page header should not be a
problem.. (??)
 
i have the same problem with a second workflow (create new version of a
page) and usergroup 'e'. if i start the task and try to edit the header
nothing appears.
 
i tried the same thing with page content too. same behaviour. i'm not able
to edit the content.
 
is this a serious bug or am i doing something obviously wrong?
 
 
btw: i have the same problem other people experienced with the context menu.
the usergoup which is allowed to assign the workflow doesn't have a menu
item 'workflows' in it's context menu. only the admin has.
 
i'm using typo3 3.8.1 plus the latest releases of extensions involved
(sys_workflow-2.5.0-beta20060119, gabriel-1.0.0-beta20060119 from
http://jul.net/native-workflow-system/ as well as newest versions of the
taskcenter). i have the same problem with the missing workflows-menu with
the t3d-file supplied with the latest release.
 
i wanted to use this extension in a project that has to be finished in the
next weeks. is there any chance there will be a final release of the
workflow in this time (is there any updated release schedule?)?
 
regards
philipp
