Matthew McKinzie	Thursday 16 November 2006 7:55:08 am Hi, I'm having problems creating a protected section. I am using eZ Publish v. 3.7.3, so I have been following the instructions for creating a protected area as given in http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/user_manual/3_7/daily_tasks/creating_a_protected_area: 1. I created a top-level folder called "Secret Documents" in the Content Structure. 2. I went to Setup and created a new section called "Secret Section". 3. I assigned "Secret Section" to "Secret Documents" so that "Secret Documents" shows up under "Objects within this section [2]" when I look at Secret Section in the admin interface. Yet I am still able to see this folder and navigate to it as an anonymous user without logging in. Am I missing a step here or forgetting something? Any help would be appreciated.

Be default the anonymous user should have content read permissions limited to section standard, maybe you do not have such a limitation there. Claudia
