Re: [xwiki-users] User forgot password link unavailable
Hi Mahomed, It’s really a feature :) This is a “god feature where you say that you don’t care about permissions on pages and you override them by preventing guest user to view any page. In your case that’s not what you want! You should use permissions instead to achieve your goal. Note that the ResetPassword page has a special page level permission to allow guest users to view it.

Is there a simple way of allowing just this one page (and possibly the forgot username page) to be viewed by unauthenticated users, without allowing unauthenticated users full access? On a related note, if using the block unauthenticated users feature is not recommended, then what is the recommended way of blocking access to documents by unauthenticated users?
