User: Roles Filter doesn't show anonymous and authenticated roles.

The anonymous and authenticated roles are not stored in the database in Drupal 6 and therefore cannot be queried.

I believe the User: Name filter includes an anonymous option.

I had a look at the users table and noticed that the 'created' field for the anonymous 0 user is set to 0. (Beginning of Unix Time.. or a second before).

I forget when that is, but I put in a filter that the user should have been created after 1980. That filtered out the anonymous user in my view.

Not the best solution, because it would make more sense to be able to filter on the uid field.

many thanks!

I have a View that I only want the content visible only to a certain dept. For logged in users, my filters work perfectly. Other users should see the empty text. I've tried using the above options to make my View not visible to anonymous viewers - both by User Name (Anonymous) and Created Date (before admin created date) filters. Neither options are working to show the anonymous viewers the empty text. In the database, the name field is blank and the created date is 0 for UID 0. Here is my View and thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hello, if the status change is wrong i'm sorry.

My problem is this:

I created a user type view. its just a user list with some filters but one of them is role. i got the dev version of 6.x.2x12 and the problem is that i can't use "authenticated user" as a filter item (the filter is exposed so i really need auth users as option).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Please, read #1 and #6 again. The authenticated role is not stored in the database in Drupal 6. If you need to use an exposed filter, try with an other role. Give that role to your authenticated users.
