I have a set of pages that I had originally set to be used by some specific security roles.

But we are running some PDF conversion software and it will only work if we set the page to be viewable by ALL Users.

So for these 12 pages I just set the View permissions to All Users, but also left the other users checked as well.

Over the last couple of months I have had at least 3 occurrences of the All Users permission becoming unchecked by itself.

So when the PDF conversion is run, which is in a background process, the resulting PDF only shows a Login Prompt.

Is there any known issue that might be causing this. This is a very custom application on DNN 4.5.5. I have been hesitant to upgrade because it has been running well, with this one exception.

It is used to assess schools all around the country and sometimes we have 200 or more Teachers, Students, Parents, and Staff members on the site answering as many as 40,000 assessment questions a day.

But the reports are the key thing. We can collect data all day but if we cannot run our PDF reports reliably we have a big problem.

For now I have just had to go in and manually set each of these pages back to View for All users. For some reason all the other roles don't get unchecked only the All Users.

Thanks for any ideas on what might be causing this. Or workarounds. I guess I could schedule a sql script to check the permissions every day to ensure that they are checked and if not check them. But that is not preferred.

Could you try checking Unauthenticated and Registered users? You mention that it needs all users checked, but unless it requires other specific roles, I think that those two would perform the same function as All Users.

Is there anyone else that has access to set permissions? Perhaps they are unaware of why all users is checked and unchecks it?

I did take off the other permissions and will report back if the problem persists.
