Go to your sitemap, click on home, click set permissions. Now make sure you have guests/users able to read on pages you want them to access like home. When setting up the pages use the option at bottom for sub pages to inherit settings so future pages created have the same permissions as their parent if you have users or editors creating blogs or articles under a page and so on and so forth, screenshot attached. You can also set perms by page type and will want to take a look at the tutorial how to.

Thank you very much:-) I actually figured it out myself but I do certainly appreciate the prompt reply. Have a great day!
