Each type of state and transition guards (permission, role, script) allows 
you to specify several values, separated by semicolons. These values are 
"or'ed" together so to allow role x and role y to submit a document, you'd
change the submit transition's role guard to "role x; role y". 

This stuff should be in the DCWorkflow help section in the latest version of 
DCWorkflow, so have a look in there for more details.

AFAIK, you'd need to change the permissions on the various 'Add foo' 
permissions, rather than View. However rather a lot of different portal 
content types are managed under Add Portal Content, so if you want to
differentiate, you'd need to set up new permissions in code.
