Access privileges on front page

I’ve a database full of useful links on the front of the website. Is it possible to make this accessible to anyone with out a username and password? Anytime I click on it, it asks for username and password. Ideally joe public could access certain parts of the site.

Cheers

Neil

Do you have frontpage role set to guest? When you refer to database I assume you are talking about the upload data file? It works for me as a link from a 'web page'. I actually did a tut video on the setting I used.

Security Note- I have front page set to default role of guest and have modified guest to allow submission of questionnaires so that the contact us form will submit without visitors creating an account here. Typically I would not suggest setting a school's default front page role as guest. I would suggest leaving it blank.
