#Log in as the admin.

2. On the List tab, in the List of Existing Groups area, the Admin Groups page list the existing groups: Admins, Registered, Forum Admins (that you created earlier) and Anonymous.
   
   

   The List of Existing Groups area on the Admin Groups page, showing the 4 groups.
3. On the Admin Groups page, click the Manage Permissions button.
   
   

   This page shows the current global permissions for the Anonymous group.
4. The Permissions area of the Assign Permissions tab displays the currently assigned permissions to this group:
   • tiki_p_view: Allows visitors to view wiki pages.

Right now, Tiki is showing only the Wiki permissions. Let's display the Blog-specific permissions and give the Anonymous group permission to read the blog.

1. On the Assign Permissions to Global page, click the Select Features tab.
   
   

   The Features tab lists the currently enabled features.
2. Enable the Blogs feature and click Select.
3. Tiki saves the information and reloads the Assign Permissions to Global page, showing the Assign Permissions tab.
   
   

   Tiki now includes Blogs in the list of features.
4. Select the Can read blogs (tiki_p_read_blog) permission and click Assign.

Your anonymous visitors (and, by extension, all visitors) now have permission to read the blogs. Try it.

Log out as the admin. Now click the link in the Last Blog Posts module. Tah-dah! Visitors can now read your blog.

Other Permissions

Now that you have assigned the blog permission, you need to repeat the process to assign the permissions for the other features. The following table details which permissions, for which features, that you need to add to the Anonymous group.

Log back in as the admin and add the following permissions to the Anonymous group, in order to give Anonymous visitors read-only access to all the features.
