Thanks Joseph and Lista. We are using Share. If the Help link is an indicator, it's 4.0.2. I drilled down to a specific document; in the UI's Edit Properties, I did not see where the current folder/file permissions are identified. (That would be handy - but maybe it's there and I'm not seeing it?) Anyway, in the docs, I found:

http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Fconcepts%2Fsecur-permissions.html

I'm new to my company and will try to find out who is our Alfresco admin. If the permissions are only visible/set in permissionDefinitions.xml, I'll see if the admin can set all my coworkers as collaborators for those review drafts.

Does that sound like the right solution?

Many thanks for your advice.

John

It should work
You can test it for your self by installing alfresco on test instance (10 min most taken for installation)
try out with different group permissions and how it suits ur environment
