Allowing Guest-Only Access to Menu Items and Modules

Version 1.6 introduces the ability to create a View Access Level that is only for guests of the site (meaning a user who is not logged in). The example below shows how you can set up this new feature.

1. Create a new user group called Guest. Make it a child of the Public group as shown below.
   
2. Create a new access level called Guest and grant only the Guest group access to this level, as shown below.
   
3. Edit the Public access level and add the Guest group to it, as shown below.
   
4. Navigate to User Manager→Options→Component and change the Guest User Group from the default value of "Public" to "Guest", as shown below.

Now, if we assign a menu item, module, or other object to the Guest access level, only non-logged in users will have access. For example, if we create a new menu item with access level of Guest, as shown below,

this menu item will only be visible to non-logged-in visitors to the site. Login/logout in frontend (for changing data in session) to see the change.
