    Description

      What it should do: before the workflow is started for users without edit rights display the same view a viewer would see if it has been started but is only in draft status.

      What it does now: shows the user the option to start the workflow, which they can't actually do.

      I use a controlled document template for users to start pages which will use the publication workflow. This template has the macro in place when a new page is created using it. It's pretty normal to have pages which have never been published with the macro on them. I can instruct my users to always start the workflow I suppose, but I can't guarantee they will. I think the view of a user without edit rights should match what the viewers see when the workflow is started and the page is in draft (i.e. all they can see is a status of draft), but instead they are given the option to start the workflow which they can't actually do since they don't have the necessary permissions.
