What I would like to do is.. create a blog page that only authorized users can view.

I want anonymous users to not be able to view the website. I can configure that through "Access site front-end" disallow.

Then I want to give a user access to a specific part of the website. For example a blog I created. So I go to the blog settings, enable the "Content Permissions" part. Then I specify that the anonymous user has access. If I do it extremely (i.e. check ALL checkboxes), it still won't work. The user doesn't get any access.

When I view the "current permissions" (the disabled checkboxes), they always say the user doesn't have access.

What am I missing here? What do I need to do to get the disabled checkboxes checked, and what do I need to do to get the user to have read access to the blog? If I set "Access site front-end" to true, then the user has access to everything.

I don't understand this..

I am having the same problem, i can't find any documentation about the new Content Permissions.

Hi I am new to this but I did get Content permissions to work with pages and I just tried with securing a Blog and its does not work!

It does work on a blog post though!

There is a "list module" which i think could contain blog posts you could try using that instead of using a blog ... not an ideal solution I know

Hey, yes, we've reproduced that. So we'll probably be making a patch that also makes the blog list / latest blog posts widget check the permissions.

Any update on this? I am also trying to secure the blog on the front-end to only allow Authenticated users to view. Is there a patch yet?

Did someone file a bug? If not, it needs to be done.
