Display post status drop down by user capability

Question

I want to prevent post status by user capability. Like 'draft' and 'pending' status display when author is logged in and 'publish' status display when editor is logged in.

You can try this:

<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    $args = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'post_status' => 'publish, pending, draft' );
} else {
    $args = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'post_status' => 'publish' );
}
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args); while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
