I just did a clean install of CivicSpace 0.8.2 release candidate 6.

http://civicspacelabs.org/home/developers/download

No hiccups during install.

I did the basic set-up that I have done on many other Drupal sites - anonymous users = "access content" only. But I was still getting "access denied" for any node. I did lots of access_control trial and error and isolated the problem to "administer nodes". When that is turned on, then users can SEE nodes and EDIT them. With that unchecked, they can neither see nor edit nodes.

I have tried everything else I can think of - but still only by turning on "administer nodes" can users even see nodes.

Any idea what is going on?

Here is what I did.

1) Create content test node. Published and promoted to front page were the publishing option.
2) I have three roles. Admin, authenticated, anonymous. All have view access content permission. Only admin has administer nodes.
3) Logout.
4) Look at front page as anonymous user, not logged in. I can see the node I created on the front page.
5) Created authenticated user called authenticated. Set password. Logout.
6) Login using authenticated user. Can see content on the front page.

What else should I try?

Step 4 is where it fails for me. Anonymous users have "node module > access content" permission but NO CONTENT shows up on the home page. You get the details on how to set it up. I created some pages and linked them from the nav bar - anonymous users get "access denied". That is, "access content" alone does not gives users access to read the content. ONLY when I additionally give users "administer nodes" access can they then see content.

I know it does not make sense. There is a bug somewhere. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this.

Are you using Taxonomy access module as well? I had something similar happen to me because I had enabled Taxonomy access but hadn't configured it yet. I turned it back off, and voila, content reappeared.

I could not explain the odd behavior, so I reinstalled CivicSpace a second time and the problem went away. So I attribute it to some oddity when I installed it by hand.
