The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.There is a scenario where a user has the view to edit a piece of content, but there is no button to save the edited content. Here is one scenario where this can be reproduced:
- create user with only the "Authenticated user" role
- allow authenticated users to have all permissions to the Article content type
- make Article moderatable with all states checked and default status to draft
- login as the user you just created
- go to create an Article and you will see an interface to edit content, but no save button (only a preview button)
While this isn't a severe scenario, easily remedied by giving transition permissions, it could be a common scenario for sites with many editorial steps.

Crell commentedThe straightforward solution would be to modify the entity permission hook we already implement and deny Edit access if the user has no out-going transition permissions. That may have a negative performance impact, though. It also means that the Edit tab would simply not be available for those users, which could be confusing.
