The Self Help Guides feature in MyGPS *is* visible to anonymous users.

When running in authenticated mode, MyGPS will require the 'MY_GPS_TOOL' permission. You will receive an error dialog if you try to access MyGPS as an authenticated user without that permission.By default MY_GPS_TOOL is only granted to the following security groups:

  •  SSP_STUDENT
  •  SSP_ADMINISTRATOR
  •  SSP_DEVELOPER

To grant it to other groups via the UI:

  1.  Sign in as a portal administrator
  2.  Manage Users -> Manage Access -> User Access Management -> Manage Permissions
  3.  Ctrl-F and search for "MY_GPS_TOOL", click it
  4.  Click "Add an Assignment"
  5.  Type "All permissions" as the Target, press Submit
  6.  Click "Choose Principals"
  7.  Click "SSP Roles"
  8.  Click the group to which to grant the permission
  9.  Click the green "plus" icon that will appear next to the selected group's name in the group panel header, this will add the group to the list on the right
  10.  To add more roles, click "SSP Roles" in the breadcrumbs to get back to the list of all SSP security groups
  11.  Click "Submit" when you're done.
  12.  Select "Grant" from the combo-boxes for the groups you just selected (change will be submitted automatically, there is no submit button)
  13.  Sign out
  14.  Sign back in as a user in one of the groups to which you just granted the MY_GPS_TOOL permission and visit the MyGPS URL (http(s)://{domain}/ssp/MyGPS/index.html)

Note that this will only allow authenticated access to MyGPS for members of the selected groups. It will not add a link to MyGPS to their navigation. The latter is driven by group membership rather than permissions. By default, only the SSP_STUDENT group has the MyGPS navigation link.
