I've added a NEW Showcase: Item moderator permissions: "View draft items".
As you can see in this image, I (admin) am able to view Mr Testers item.
You'll probably also notice that not only can you VIEW it, you can perform all of the normal actions that you can on a visible or moderated or deleted item as a moderator (to include being able to publish it).
The "View draft item" moderator permission also allows moderators to view an Authors "Draft items" page (altho, there are no LINKS to this page for anyone except the author themselves, so you'd have to go to their items page and append /draft-items to the URL in order to get to this page). Most of the time, the item authors should be providing you URLS to a specific draft items that they want you to check out, so coming up with a navigational interface for this is not something I plan on doing. Unless you are using Showcase as an "Articles" system, you probably won't even have a need for this as Item Owners are not going to give a rats ass what you think about their Showcase Items in the first place lol
Note: If anyone tries to access another members draft items page and they don't have the moderator permission to view draft items, they will get a permissions error.
