Hi Felix and Per,

I'm having the exact same issue with the same version of Umbraco and Courier.

Sorry for the double post, but is there any light on this at all?

This seems to be a bug. At the very least, it's an unexpected behaviour. You need to explicitly add user ids to the config file, even though (to the best of my research) that list is meant to be for allowing external connections (aka server configuration). According to the manual, client configuration is supposed to be managed completely within the UI (correct me if I'm wrong).

Anyway, open your umbraco\plugins\UmbracoCourier\Settings\courier.config file and manipulate the allowedUsers section like this:

        <allowedUsers>
            <!-- to allow all servers add a user element with an asterik ("*") -->
            <user>0</user>
            <user>2</user>
            <user>3</user>
            <user>4</user>
            <user>5</user>
        </allowedUsers>

Note that an asterisk does not work to allow all users, at least not for me. I tested all sorts of settings and combinations, and the only method that worked was explicitly adding each allowed user.

Hope that helps!

Even adding the allowed users to the courier.config does not remove the menu item from the tree for users without permission in my exerience.

I imagine you could easily remove it during BaseContentTree_BeforeNodeRender after checking if the user has permissions for '^'.
