I assume this has been discussed but I cant seem to find it in the forums so I will reask here.

Is there a way to make an action button appear for an anonomous user?  Here is the scenario:

I am building my own modules and I want the users to see a nice contect sensitive help button on each module - I have filled in the help URL in the module set up and I can get that displayed and such but it seems I can not see it when logged into the site. I have added this def to the container

<dnn:ACTIONBUTTON5 runat="server" id="ACTIONBUTTON5" CommandName="OnlineHelp.Action" DisplayIcon="True" DisplayLink="False" />

And I can see the help icon when logged in as host or admin but not any other role?  Anything I can do ?

Dylan,

Have you tried giving anonymous user edit privileges to that module? Or you could apply that to the page and have your module inherit view permissions from page.

That may do the trick!

Take care,

Ian

Well that does the trick but that wont work for the way the modules are structured and I think its a bit strange that I cant pass in something like 'Security.anonymous' for any action link and have it show up
