In the latest cvs, the anon user is just another user with the 'guest' role by default. So you can assign permissions and make role association just like any other user now.
This is also new overriding options in the JetspeedSecurity.properties file to control the display of action buttons: ######################################### # Action buttons # ######################################### services.JetspeedSecurity.actions.anon.disable=true services.JetspeedSecurity.action.allusers.disable=false If you don't want to deal with the cvs head now, we hope to have a new release by Thursday > -----Original Message----- > From: Wimmer, Matthias [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 12:09 PM > To: 'Jetspeed Users List' > Subject: RE: Add Maximize & Minimize Buttons to Front Page > > > Andy: > > I am not quite sure about all this stuff.
