Application does not work well with user with contributor rights

[petertennekes]

Preconditions: Blog added for which the user has only contributor rights

Steps: Open post view. Create a new post with status draft or pending

Expected result: User should see posts to the blog and able to write posts with status draft or pending

Actual result: User only sees own posts (which could be ok but there could be some user notification) and cannot post anything

Note: did not yet test with other user types (author, editor, subscriber)

Note: ​http://houbi.com/?p=89 if not fixed in the newer versions there's not that much we can do:

The xmlrpc-implementation in Wordpress is such that it can only accept posts from a user with the role of administrator or editor. For other users, it replies with a simple “Sorry, you don’t have sufficient rights to perform this action”. Thus, if you want to use some of the post restrictions of the other roles in combination with the xmlrpc, you’re out of luck!
