PM84954: 'GO TO DRAFT' BUTTON SHOULD BE DISABLED IF THE USER DOESN'T HAVE READ ACCESS TO THE DRAFT ITEM

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a published item has only one draft item, then a 'Go to
  Draft' button is displayed in read mode.
  The problem is when a user doesn't have read access to this
  draft item, then nothing happens after the button is clicked.
  Ideally, the button should be removed or disabled when the user
  doesn't have the required access permissions since they cannot
  read it anyway.
  
  The issue happens because there was no access checking performed
  for the display of the 'Go to Draft' button.
  

Local fix

• The solution was to add access checking for the display of the
  'Go to Draft' button.
  If the user doesn't have read access to the draft item, then the
  button will be disabled (i.e. greyed out). We didn't remove the
  button, so users can have a quick way of knowing that there
  actually is a draft item.
  

Problem summary

• 'Go to Draft' button should be removed if the user doesn't have
  read access to the draft item.
