Question

So I created a content type “seminar” in Drupal with a bunch of CCK-fields. I then built a view for these seminars with no access restrictions. The view works fine for authenticated users.
As the anonymous user with the permissions to “view content” and all CCK-fields for seminars I can access the page, but I cannot see any seminar-entries. The moment I grant anonymous the permission “administer content”, the view gets populated with all the seminars one could wish for.
I guess I’ve just missed some stupid checkbox somewhere, but I can’t for the life of me figure out, what and where it might be.

Answer 1

Try to rebuild permissions and clear the Views cache (Views -> Tools). If you did not set any access restrictions in the view, “access content” and the CCK field permissions should be enough.

Administer content is a very dangerous permission, it overrides most of the other content related permissions.
