View Unpublished ---------------- This small module adds the missing permissions "view any unpublished content" and "view unpublished $content_type content" to Drupal 8. This module also integrates with the core Content overview screen at /admin/content. If you choose the "not published" filter, Drupal will show you unpublished content you're allowed to see. Using view_unpublished with Views --------------------------------- Use the "Published status or admin user" filter, NOT "published = yes". Views will then respect your custom permissions. Thanks to hanoii (6.x) and pcambra (7.x) for this feature. Common issues ------------- * If for some reason this module seems not to work, try rebuilding your node permissions: admin/reports/status/rebuild. Note that this can take significant time on larger installs and it is HIGHLY recommended that you back up your site first.
