My action buttons are only visible when I am logged in as Admin e.g. if I enable the Print button and preview the page, everything is OK, but if I log out and view the site normally, I don't see any action buttons! I think it must be linked to permissions, but I have drawn a blank so far - any ideas?

It may be that you have turned off the container for that module.  Print, RSS, and other actions need to have a container assigned that have those actions in them.

Thanks John, but the container is switched on. I have tried debugging the code and managed to trace it as far as the PortalModuleBase.CanAddAction() method which is called (eventually) from Skin.ProcessActionControls(). It looks like the action button will only be added if the EditMode property is set to true:

If canAdd AndAlso checkAdminControl Then
canAdd = EditMode AndAlso Not ModuleConfiguration.IsAdmin AndAlso Not IsAdminControl()
End If

This explains what I'm seeing - EditMode is only set to True when I'm logged in as Admin, so I only see the action buttons wwhen I'm logged in!

Is there anything else I need to do to get the action buttons displayed on a module container when I'm not logged in?

That should only be the case for edit actions.  The print and rss actions are not limited to people with edit rights that I know of.

Try switching to one of the default containers just to see what happens.

What version are you on? I believe that in version 4.4.0 there was a bug that had the same affect. It was fixed in 4.4.1
