CSS requiring citizens to login in when settings are set to no login required

Description of Issue

Citizens are being required to log into Citizen Self Service even though the setting for No Login Required is selected

Context
  • Munis Self Service
  • Citizen Self Service

Cause

When citizens attempt to access a module in CSS/MSS with logins not required enabled, the site uses the Guest user in addition to the No Log In Required setting to determine who should get access without signing in. If the Guest user is not configured as a citizen for the requested module then it will request that the citizen sign in
