I have a fairly simple custom module that contains some input boxes and a submit button. The module is intended to be used by the Unauthenticated Users and Edit permissions need to be granted to the Unauthenticated Users on the module in order for the module to work correctly.

Module works fine in DNN 4.4.1.

However in DNN 4.7.0, it looks like module does not go into Edit mode even when Unauthenticated Users does have Edit permissions . When I click on the submit button the actual submitting of the form does not occur. The browsers status bar quickly flickers but the desired action does not occur. The javascript is the only thing that seems to work on the module.

 The  same behavior occurs with the HTML/Edit module. I give Edit permissions to the Unauthenticated Users on the HTML/Edit  module. Then when I try to edit the content of the HTML/Edit module, the Edit text link is not there. In DNN 4.4.1, Unauthenticated Users were able to edit the text of an HTML/Text module if they had Edit rights to the module.

Anyone know anything about the Edit permissions forUnauthenticated Users?

My guess is that it is a change in the handling of "Edit" control types, but I cannot say for sure.

Personally I think giving unauthenticated users edit permissions would be quite risky....

Ensure that caching values didn't happen to get set for the module the cache time must be 0!
