post_name does not get added when using post_status other than publish

[Jossnaz]

the beautiful documentation on ​https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post lacks elementary information.
post_name does NOT get inserted when using a normal editor user (not wp-admin) and using this code

<?php
 $post_information = array(
    'post_title' => 'Your title',
  'post_content' => 'blabla',
  'post_type' => 'post',
  'post_author' => wp_get_current_user()->ID,
  'post_status' => 'pending',
  'post_name' => "somerandomstuffthatisunique2223434343434"
);
$new_id = wp_insert_post( $post_information);

this is NOT stated in the docs.

This works:

<?php

$post_information = array(
    'post_title' => 'Your title',
  'post_content' => 'blabla',
  'post_type' => 'post',
  'post_author' => wp_get_current_user()->ID,
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'post_name' => "somerandomstuffthatisunique222"
);
$new_id = wp_insert_post( $post_information);

now how does wordpress itself store the slug before it is published? obviously, not in post_name.

If you feel good, feel free to answer on

as I am not the only one wondering about this defect.

I think I figured out it was a missing>

publish_posts or edit_published_posts rule that you can set in the User Role Editor
