How to allow users to view other users entries in admin view

How do I go about giving a user permissions to view entries submitted by another user? I have set up two users for different purposes and both essentially have the same privileges.. they are not allowed to publish but can store an entry as draft. Unfortunately, right now from what I see when managing groups there is only an option to Administrate entries. I want to be able to let one user see the others drafts but by checking adminEntriesMaintainOthers: Administrate other user's entries I would be giving them rights to delete the others drafts as well which I do not want. Is there a way to get around this so a user could search for drafts or entries for a particular user but limit the amount of functionality that they can perform on those entries?

Thanks,
Evan

I don't think thaat's easily possible. Maybe Garvin has a little more insight.

Hi!

This functionality is not yet existing; it could be patched though by introducing a new (or multiple new) permissions like manageDrafts or something like that.

How skiled are you for PHP? Because with the current weather, my mind's not able to achieve this task right now.

Best regards,
