Authenticator fails, why?

Hi Guys
I've created a form that is supposed to allow a registered user to sign up to be a real clubmember.
This of course only works if there is a user currently logged in to the site.
So I wanted to use 'Authenticator', and I've 'allowed' all groups, except 'public' to be ok.
In the authenticator I've for now just entered a php statement, echoing 'logged in' or 'NOT logged in', and I always get the message 'NOT logged in', so what have I misunderstood?

Hi fribse,

I find this confusing too. 'Public' here means 'all users - including registered and guests' and that has to be allowed otherwise everyone is blocked. Guests means 'users who aren't logged in'.

I see, but I don't see a 'Guests' anywhere in it?

Hi fribse,

Guests are users who don't have a group assigned.

I think you misunderstood me, it's in the authenticator I don't see it:

Hi fribse,

Yes, that's correct. Those are User Groups, Guests are users with no Group. But you wouldn't want to use the Authenticator action to give access to Guests.

Ahh, ok, so I'm not supposed to see the 'guest level' in it, got it. It's a bit confusing set up, compared to normal J groups.
Got it, thankyou!
