 * guys, I am trying to set a custom user role using “User Role Editor” plugin. 
   I would like that a custom role be able to view draft posts but NOT edit them.
   I gave him edit_posts + edit_private_posts + read + read_private_posts + edit_dashboard..
   however i’m noticing that he can only read published posts .. any idea? thanks
 * using the latest plugin update
