Answers.Text: ok, i see.  I've got the ontherocks.dev running & tested this.  Makes sense once you know what's happening.  would be great if it notified editors of things to approve etc but is probably good enough for most situations

  You can give a user or a user group the following permissions (on each section separately):
  
  * Edit entries
    + Create entries
    + Publish live changes
    + Delete entries
    + Edit other authors’ entries
    + Edit other authors’ drafts
  
  If a user only can "create entries", but not "publish live changes", then he is not able to publish an entry (but he can create the entry).

  As username_3 has mentioned, Craft has a great permissions system built-in, which allows you to assign users the ability to either *publish* content live, or instead only *create* it and have others publish it.
  
  Here's a screenshot of a typical permissions screen:

  To take this to the next level, Josh Crawford has developed a great free plugin called [***Workflow***](https://github.com/engram-design/Workflow) which enhances this with:
  
  * User interface improvements, including a button to "Submit for Review"
  * Email notifications to notify publishers that an entry is ready for review
  * Entries become locked while they are awaiting review
  * Extra events for hooking into the submission/publishing process with additional custom functionality
