I saw a post for this on the 4.7 code last year. Since this is on 5.x I thought I'd create a new bug.
The module installs and appears to work properly for authenticated users. But not for anonymous users. I have enabled the permissions for anonymous to be able to create userlinks, view own userlinks, and view all userlinks. When I logout and come in as anonymous, there is not a Userlink node type under create content. When I hack the URL to get to create userlink, the error message is that I (anonymous) am not authorized to view that page.
Simplest answer might be that I'm an idiot and doing something wrong, but barring that take a look at this test case. In my implementation I want anonymous users to be able to submit links. Nice to have would be alternative workflows for anonymous and authenticated users' submissions.

Oops - actually... it's both an anonymous user and an authenticated, but otherwise unprivileged user, which are affected. The administrator has no issue. It appears that the access settings for the module are not being respected at all.

Hi everyone - I noticed this too.

Has anyone come up with a solution for this one yet.

It seems you gotta have access right to "administer contet" to be able to create userlinks as anonymous user. That doesn't make sense.

I just created a new release of the module, so give it a try.
Please make sure to clear your cache and cache_menu tables if you are putting this on a site that already has the userlink module installed because there are new permissions. You will also need to assign more permissions.
Someone who has reported this problem please set this to "closed" if the problem goes away...
Thanks,
Marc

From the CVS comment:
Anonymous users can now submit userlinks. Added two new permissions: "edit all userlinks" and "edit own userlinks" which control update and delete access to userlinks.
This addresses http://drupal.org/node/123372 but probably will create a whole bunch of other issues.

Works great now! Thank you very much
