Scenario:

  • Anonymous user has permission 'Post comment'
  • Anonymous user does not have permission 'Access comments'

In this case, the 'Add new comment' link will display, but will not do anything when clicked. The 'Add comment' link should either not be displayed, or access comments should not be a required permission.

This is related but not identical to #629848: Anon commenters disabled by default?. Both these permissions should be enabled by default.

This is still an issue.

Anonymous settings:

1) view comments is disabled
2) post comments isn't disable

If anonymous people wonna make a comment they can see the link, but they cannot click it.
Like 1 said, I think View comments must be enabled before you can post comments

It's not just anonymous users, it's any role.
This patch addresses it:
#799998: "post comments" permission does not work without "access comments"
