User unable to see a scheduled post via the url?

1. If you want to display the scheduled posts in the main wordpress loop you can use 'post_status' => 'future' as an argument for the array. This will now show your scheduled posts for all users. It’s pretty handy for things like event listings.

   However there is a problem with this and I believe this is what your problem may be. When any user with a role set lower than editor, or a non-user, tries to access that post on it’s individual page you will not have the rights to view it, and it throws up a 404.

   Not sure why this is and why admins and editors can see it.

   If you place this code in your functions.php file it should get it working for everyone.

       /* Show future posts */
   function show_future_posts($posts)
   {
      global $wp_query, $wpdb;
      if(is_single() && $wp_query->post_count == 0)
      {
         $posts = $wpdb->get_results($wp_query->request);
      }
      return $posts;
   }
   add_filter('the_posts', 'show_future_posts');
   

   I found it from this post on WordPress
