Hi Chris:
OK, I have the following answers from those who know more than I do...
- - - - -
There is a simple solution for that;
On the MacOS-X server place al the users in one Group;
Give the Group Read and Write access to the Published Folder on the server.
With the Workgroup Manager / Sharing: select the Published Folder and in the
tab-window "Protocols" select "Inherit permissions from parent"
All saved documents in that Folder will then have the same privileges.

Someone else suggested:
After they save, they should go to the doc in the Finder, select it, press
cmd-I or control-click and choose Get Info, open the "Details:" disclosure
triangle of Ownership & Permissions, and flip both Group and Others popups
to Read & Write. Since they have Read & Write themselves they are presumably
the Owner and thus are able to change the permissions on Group and Other.
I have to do the same thing when I want to test scripts on my Test user and
be able to open and edit the scripts over on Test user. Unless there's some
restriction on the server (I've never used a server) that prevents them
controlling documents they themselves own, this should work.
Sorry: I can't tell you where these came from :-)
