Guest Access - better understanding needed
Permalink
Dear C5 Forum,
I'm playing with the new feature 'guest access' to explain it to a customer. But now i recognize that I did not get the effect expected. Maybe I have an issue in my configuration or I don't understand it correctlty.
Thats what happen:
If i set guest access to a block on a certain page. All the blocks in that page got the same 'guest-access settings'.
In Frontend a guest could only see global blocks an things in the template. A login-mask ist presented instead.
What I expected:
Guest access should only added to this block i turned it on. Then it will disappear for guests.
Could anyone explain me like it should work correctly?
Thanks in advance!

If you set guest access to a page all areas and blocks inherit the permissions. You then need to remove guest access to the blocks/areas.
