In short, I'd like to log into Wordpress admin (3.0.1, no MU or Buddypress) and create a post on behalf of another user. However, I don't want this user to have publishing privileges.
I feel like this is any easy hack such as overwriting the post_author_meta_box() function, but I can't seem to figure out how to get a list of ALL users instead of getting a list of those users who are capable.
Hopefully that made sense. Any help on this would be excellent. Thanks!

Are you using a WordPress Multi-Site installation?
A super admin user can do this by default on the quick edit screen for any post. Not sure about a WordPress single install as don't have a test install handy at the moment, but I would think it work similar.
Let us know a bit more about your set up and perhaps someone else here will have another idea as well.

It should be the same as regular wp.

I believe you would have to set them up as a contributor. They still can write articles at that level but they would not be able to approve them or publish them.

Even as a blog admin, they can do that. Unless they;ve changed things somewhere. I don;t recall anyone complaining about that...
