Draft Announcements on a site are viewable in student dashboard

Description

In Dashboard, Students are able to view the content of draft announcements on the course site. Clicking on the View in Site button associated with a draft announcement will take them to the site where they are denied access to view the announcement(s), nonetheless, the content is still visible within their Dashboard. Screenshots attached.

It seems that Group permissions will override the perms that allow unauthorized access to the content of the draft announcements so the workaround is to create a Group (e.g., Announcements Draft Group) for site maintainers and restrict access and availability to that Group for all draft announcements. This will remove those announcements from the Dashboard of anyone who is not a member of that group.
