Workflow states and permission

ok, first timer so be gentle. We have a few different groups,one of which is "view only". People who should only see parts at acertain state such as "released". I have the group set to not readfile contents of anything in a "pending" condition.

I have "always work with latest version" checked, (which doesn'tseem to allow me access to older versions, which is a problem).

If I search on a file it will bring back let's say a Released part,but if I hit get latest version I see a "pending" file, even thoughin Groups I said to not be able to read file conents. (Is this whyi get "failed to add file to vault"?)

Based on the above does anyone have recommendations for setting upthis view only group?

Thanks,
