Allowing users to control publishing and authoring options

This recipe is like a wiki page. Please contribute to it if you want.

Background

The only way in Drupal core to allow users to override the authoring and publishing options (Authored by, Authored on, Promote to front page, etc.) is to give them 'administer nodes' permission. However, doing so also allows them to edit all nodes.

Solution

Install the Override Node Options module, which lets site administrators define which authoring and publishing options users in various roles have control over. You can then remove 'administer nodes' permission and replace it with more granular edit permissions specific to content types or other criteria.
