Steps to reproduce the issue
Open up an Article for edit
Set Unpublished
Click the preview button
Expected result
Article displays in popup window
Actual result
Popup window displays Page not found
System information (as much as possible)
Additional comments
When Article is unpublished then the preview button at the top shows page not found
If page is set 'Registered' then the front end menu shows (in the popup window) with a not authorised message (this is with SU selected in the 'Registered' view level).
It seems as if the the preview popup is not handling the ACL correctly.
The preview window in the JCE editor works as expected.

Expected behaviour and approach as described.
OK I Get it. When someone is using test logins in the front end they have to set Shared Sessions to yes to preview while editing the document. Then set Shared Sessions to no to test the various test users in the different user groups. Then set Shared Sessions back to yes if they wish to preview further edits.
And admin who don't normally have Shared Sessions set to yes have to change the setting (then back again) every time they edit an Article. That all makes perfect sense now. Thank you
That is the expected behaviour as the front end is being loaded as a gust user as has been discussed many many times.
The solution to this is to enable shared sessions in the global config. Then the front end will be loaded as the same user as the admin
