I have a menu item, Log in, which I only want to be visible to non-logged-in users.

The item is a page, and is rendered in a menu context.

When I put access restrictions on the item, it doesn't work.

The group everyone is allowed access

The group customers (logged in users) are denied access to this element

A single user (test_selger) is also denied. This is my test account to see if this is working.

But no. What am I missing here?

I can see that you are using the old permission model and I'm not sure if you can use that to accomplish what you want (see alternative below).
If the "Everyone" group is allowed access then it means that both anonymous and authenticated users are allowed access.
Instead you can try to only deny access for the "Customers" group.

When using the new permission model you can just select the "None" permission for the system role "Authenticated users (frontend)".

Alternatively you can modify your template to check if the user is logged in or not and then show/hide menu items based on that.

Best regards,
Morten

Thanks. If I activate the new permission model, can I deactivate and reverse it again if it works in unexpected ways?

Yes, if you deactive the new permission model, you can go back to the old model.

I activated it, and now I'm not able to manage one of my sites in the backend. I cannot find any places where to set restrictions on sites.
