Adding items to anonymous lists via code

Question

We have a custom list inside a moss publishing site that an asp.net form is submitting information to.

We seem unable to submit the form when accessing the site anonymously, though we have turned off viewformspageslockdown, have enabled anonymous access on the site and allowed add anon on the list itself.

We can navigate to the list and add a new item from the moss gui but from our asp.net page, when we submit, it redirects to the login page.

Answer 1

Anonymous Means Read-Only, If you want to enable the user to add items while in Anonymous you need to use the SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges in the ASP.NET Page code.

Answer 2

You will need to check the security on the Custom List to ensure that the anonymous users can modify the list items. You should be able to check the effective security in site administration.
