Actually, this bears further study! We've got a site where this definately
appears to be happening, and it has been verified no other user logged in at
that time, yet the "Created by" metadata is being assigned to another user,
thereby allowing them to see the original users posted document. (Users are
not able to see others documents as this is a school setting.) Both
"Document Versions" and "Content Approval" is enabled.
Could anyone point us in the right direction to start tracking this down?
