Hello,

In my CMS 5 R2 SP2 project, I'm having a page tree on my site with the ExpandAll property set to true - I'm using it as a fold-out top menu with a jQuery plugin. However, I want to let all users see the full page tree even though they may have no access to enter some of the pages in it.

Well that's easy, I just have to use the PageTree property RequiredAccess and set it to AccessLevel.NoAccess and everything will show, right? No, not quite. When ExpandAll is used, EPiServer still triggers a login prompt in some cases, such as when I have a page node set to an unauthorized access level, and the sub nodes of this node are called.

I have tried to circumvent the behaviour with setting the PrincipalInfo to an admin user within the context of creating the page tree, but that is just stepping into a big pile of Ugly.

Anyone have any better tips on how to accomplish this?

Regards,
