Strange permissions behavior: I'm using Drupal 5.1 and the blog module and events module. Recently, content started disappearing for any user but the administrator. Funny thing was, it wasn't all at once, but gradual - for instance, for awhile only some events would show up. Then none at all.
I turned off each of the access permissions one by one to identify which permission was toggling between seeing no content and seeing the content.
What I found is that if I have "Access Content" and "Administer nodes" checked in the nodes section, the user can view the content. However, if I have just "Access Content" checked, the user cannot view the content. I want anonymous users, etc to view content, but not to administer it!
Any ideas what is going on and how I can repair this?
Thanks! Jeff
You might double-check that the nodes in question are in "published" status.

Yes. Thanks for that. I double checked (and just triple checked) this. Also - I thought that maybe there is a conflict with the view module. So I checked here as well to make sure that any views I had created were also "viewable" by all (one does this by leaving all categories unchecked in the view options)
Any other ideas?

Has a Rebuild Permissions button
I hit that, and all was better.

I don't see that button, is it added by a module?

See http://drupal.org/node/147961. If your node_access table isn't polluted by to many entries the button isn't shown.

whoever the clever programmers were for the "Rebuild Permissions" button were good. The button shows up only sometimes(after a certain number of days? When something is hosed with the permissions?)
once I hit the button, the button disappeared.
