Well that's bizarre, because none of our mods have anything to do with the customer authorization status either. In any case, I did some custom coding and made a workaround that works for our store.

Thank you for all your help!

So.... that behaviour is still in contrast to what you are experiencing with your site. There still has to be a clash with one of the other installed mods. As a workaround you may want to set cust auth to '0' AND then enter every single master cat as price restricted (the top line in CSAR admin...). If that works then at least the store can be operational again. It is only a workaround - no permanent solution and tedious if there are lots of categories.....
