Remove publish/edit buttons and all sections related to it and to top of item-post.php & item-edit.php put something like this:
<?php
if(!osc_is_admin_user_logged_in()) {
osc_add_flash_error_message(__('Sorry, publishing is not available right now', 'theme'));
header('Location:'. osc_base_url());
exit;
}
?>
