How do I get into edit mode, if I have Guest access to the channel?

Here's the story.... Continued from before.

I have a channel, sales.scottcate.com, working great. I want this channel to
be Guest accessiable, for browsing. Read Only, If you will on
http://sales.scottcate.com.

Then http://localhost/sales.scottcate.com I want to be able to edit. How can
I get into edit mode? Since Guest is on the channel, effectively it's the
same channel being accessed, and no "Switch To Edit Mode" is being
displayed.

I have checked the permissions, and "Administrators" is in both an editor
and author role for teh channel.

Also, the page being displayed "the first page" has a Default Console on the
template, "Press Release"

Thanks,
Scott Cate

Hi Scott,

no use with guest rights can go to edit mode.
Only author or higher are able to do this.
When guest is enabled IE will never be asked to send the credentials.
So the server is technically not able to see who is requesting the page and
which rights he has.
You can see this in the IIS log: all users are logged as "-" which means
unknown.

So you need to explicitly logon to the site to be identified as a non-guest
user.
You can do this using this URL:
http://hostname/NR/System/Access/Ma...rnUrl=/channels

Cheers,
Stefan.
