Permanent URL with No Authentication

Preview URL can do that: it will open the page in context of user who generated that URL.

Thanks for the response Roman. Unfortunately the Preview URL won't work in my scenario as I need to link to multiple documents.

I was hoping to use the Permanent URL to ensure the link to a document is always available regardless of name changes. It seems odd that the a field called "Permanent URL" doesn't support this.

Is there another way to do this in Kentico?

The term "Permanent URL" is just that, a permanent URL no matter what the name changes to, this URL will always allow you to view that page with that unique URL. A permanent URL has all the same properties as a regular URL; its the same exact page with a different way to access it, so there should be no reason why it would have different permissions or properties.

As Roman stated, if you want to share a URL for reviewing/previewing purposes, the use the Preview URL. This preview URL can change especially if you have versioning enabled. If you save the page and make a version and send out that preview URL, then make another change (version) that preview URL will no longer be valid as the current version has taken over.

Thanks for the replies everyone. It turns out the issue was caused by a bug which had been fixed in a hot fix. Lesson learned, always check the hot fix releases!
