Default page access policy is wrong #157

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Please change the default page access behavior to not require a login.
Currently, the default assumes some kind of login. People wanting a
restricted area should set them to those pages.

It's not WRONG, it's a policy.

You can either allow all and follow a blacklist policy or You disallow all and 
follow
a whitelist policy, which is more secure and proposed by the most specialists

I think it is. It probably depends on the use case. I don't think the majority 
of CMS
users create websites that have a need for high security in first place.

For people creating normal content-managed websites, why should access be 
denied by
default? I completely disagree with the current default policy.

The homepage is always accessible.
I think that is what users really want.

Again, I disagree. I want all pages to be accessible by default. It doesn't make
sense to restrict by default.
