Users cannot see their own drafts in the Web Content list

Issue

1. Create a user and assign a role with permission to create Web Content. This role must not be Administrator or Content Reviewer. These are the summary permissions of the role:
2. Create one Web Content and save it as a draft.
3. You can see that it is not in the web content list:

Environment

• DXP 7.0 or higher

Resolution

• This is not considered a bug and it is the expected behaviour:
  • For regular users, the Web Content admin section filters, by default, by "Approved" web content, so only approved web content will be listed.
  • For Administrator users or Content Reviewer users, this section filters, by default, by "Any" web content, showing any type of them.
• Hence, there are two possible workarounds for regular users to see their own draft web contents on the list:
  • Change the filter manually to show only "Draft" web contents or "Any" of them.
  • Assign them the role of "Portal Content Reviewer". They will be able to see "Any" content by default, as commented above.

Additional Information

• This case can apply to a status other than approved (like Scheduled).
