1. Create a new workflow with a "faux" initial state, e.g.,
   'start'.

2. Add a transition from this state to "published", and protect
   it with the role or permission you prefer.  Mark it "automatic".

3. Add a second transition from this state to "private",
   with no guard.  Mark it "automatic" as well.

The appropriate automatic transition will fire immediately, leaving
your object in the desired state.
