I found my own solution.  It was rather strange, but it is fixed now.

In my case, one of the modules had its permissions set to "All Users" Edit, even though it was set to follow the permissions of the page like the rest of the modules, it wasn't acting like the rest of the modules and it never appeared to be editable for unauthenticated users.  So I set just this module to be visible but not editable to all users and the page works fine now.

I had a problem with my DNN 4.5.1 upgrade and ALL my modules had their permissions reset and th All Users had View and Edit rights in the UI. After digging deeper into the DB I found that this was because it had a moduleperms record with UserID and RoleID = null. The UI was confused and this was the result, so I erased all these null records and set RoleID to -1 where appropriate (disclaimer - this was a days work - so don't start SQL hacking unless you know what you are doing ;)

Anyway - I don't understand why the dropdown bar appears or should appear for users that have edit rights on a module - it's just going to confuse them - all my Registered Users can add/edit Events, Leagues and Groups, but the bar adds no value and they don't need it and I am just going to get support calls about it.

Another interesting thing is that on my Events page (where Registered Users DO have the Edit right so they can create events) - the bar does NOT appear... It is in DNNStuff's Aggregator control - but this is the only difference...

This should really be a setting - it adds no value in my usecase.

Hi Folks.

As described and found in this topic, the solution is pretty simple.

Put the lines

<%
    If Not DotNetNuke.Security.Permissions.TabPermissionController.HasTabPermission("EDIT") Then
        ControlPanel.visible = false
    End If
%>

in the ascx-file of the skin, then the panel will be unvisible for all users but admin or host.

In the portal settings set the mode to edit as standard to give some specific users the appropriate rights for some specific modules

If nevertheless these users won't have the right (e.g. adding events to event-module, ADD-Link in bottom left corner is gone) then the same happened to you as it did to me. What it was? I don't know, but here is the solution:

Go into the table PROFILES and just delete all rows. Then they will be treated as new accounts and will inherig the right right: Edit as standard where allowed.

Honestly, this is not my solution, it came from John Mitchel.

Can anyone tell me how this 'feature' came about ...  where it is documented that it was going to be in the core ..   any discussion that were held prior to implementation?

Not a single customer likes this feature...  I am spending countless hours telling people why they cant edit and they could.    

This makes no sense at all, somebody has edit rights on a module and you change the entire page by putting a view edit mode at the top????

Mr. Walker posted in the benefactor forum that due to feedback this feature would be changed in the next release.

I don't know of any discussion about what it is changing to though.
