Can employees view their unpublished document records?

By design, employees can't view their document records before the publish date because the records are dated in future. This is the case even if they are granted the View Unpublished Document Records security privilege.

The privilege only allows a user to view unpublished document records for others.

The behavior is similar to other areas, such as Employment and Salary where a user can't view their future changes. For example, a user can't view their future promotion or future salary change.
