[CMS] Unable to give guests/registered users access to CMS

[Snaphead]

Lots of threads on this but none solved the issue. Here's what I've tried, what am I doing wrong?

Triple checked the Home page, sections, categories, articles - ALL are Published
Permissions for CMS are set to allow all user groups to read - however every time I save changes it states "Permissions not assigned for section"
unregistered users can view forums

If you edit the section, do you have Section Widget set to Yes or No?

[Snaphead]

It was set to no, I changed it to yes and that fixed it. You rock.

[Lynne]

Glad you got that fixed.

Good information

I don't understand why that option makes a difference for this issue, but making that minor change fixed the problem for me as well.
