Creating custom user roles

[POWERFULHORSE]

I'm currently working on a project that will require multiple user accounts, probably somewhere between 20-50. So far I haven't really had much experience with multiple PW users and setting up custom roles, but I imagine it can't be too complicated?

I'm trying to limit certain users so they can only view/edit/add child pages of a particular parent page, which I see is possible using the Access tab when editing the page's corresponding template.

However, I want the users to be able to add pages, but not be able to publish them and only be able to edit pages they have created. The idea is that the admincan review these pages and maintain control over what gets published, kind of like an editor.

Can anyone point in me in the right direction of where to find out how to approach something like this? Thanks!

No problem there here your picked resources....the "page-publish" thing is a little bit hide.
