We're in the midst of implementing a DNN Intranet for my small company. Because of the company size and diverse roles, the intranet will only accessible from within the office but will not require a login -- the goal being that everyone has access to everything. (Not my choice.)

We're using the Repository for several file areas and I was wondering if there was any way to allow a non-logged in user access to edit the module and the existing files, or to delete files as needed.

I've tried giving all user groups (including unauthenticated users) full admin access to the module, but it does not seem that they then see the necessary edit button and the like.

Am I missing something? Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

You are reading me correctly -- All Users have Edit permission  (as set in the Module Settings) and yet only users that explicitly log in are able to edit/delete documents or modify the module.

Thought it was a tad odd myself, especially as it doesn't seem to be a problem with any other module type.

Thanks for your input though, I'll keep fiddling for now.

Dan... do you have Visual Studio so that you can recompile the project? In your case that's something that's going to have to happen, I think, as allowing Unauthenticated Users the ability to edit uploads isn't really possible whether they're admins or not with the project without changes. The line that decides whether to show the edit pencil is as follows....

If context.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated And (UserInfo.UserID.ToString() = objRepository.CreatedByUser.ToString() Or  PortalSecurity.IsInRole(PortalSettings.AdministratorRoleName) ) Then

Most modules, at least the versions that come with DNN, rely on the Module Settings to decide whether the user can edit a file or not which works fine for most modules as, in your case, the only time a group would be given admin rights was for that exact reason but the Repository is a different bird. Because an admin can allow any user (authenticated or not) upload a file it has to take extra steps to make sure that an unauthenticated user can mess with files uploaded by another unauthenticated user hence the context.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated. What you can do to fix it is to change that line to

If IsEditable Then
