    These 2 areas, configuration and tips-tricks seem to be allowed to only special members, like mods, employees, i.e. with special rank.

    Also, you need to add attempt recover blocks other wise your code could break any time

     

    Ref: http://freemarker.org/docs/ref_directive_attempt.html 

     

    you need to check the access to these 2 calls

skylinegtr - Can you post the code here so I can look into the issue? This usually happens because you are accessing something which is accessible to the Admin but not to the normal users or the logged out state, like a gated area which needs to be checked for permission, but you have added the REST call directly without putting a permission check for it in your code. This is a code fix, not a permission related fix.
