Turning off the Print/Email/PDF icons in Content / Global Configuration results in any attempt to turn them ON for a specific content item failing with the error "You are not authorized to view this resource." Originally reported/discussed in this thread: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php?topic=102236
Reported on:
Originally discovered in 1.0.11 upgrade (did not exist in 1.0.10). Also confirmed in 1.0.12 clean install.
Classification:
High
Affected functions:
Print/PDF/email links do not function at all if the icons are turned off by default in Content / Global Configuration. When the user clicks one of those links (turned on for only a specific content item), they get a popup window with only the text "You are not authorized to view this resource."

Unknown.
Steps to replicate:
1. In 1.0.12 (or 1.0.11) Administrator, open Site > Global Configuration, click on Content tab.
2. Select Radio Button "Hide" for PDF Icon, Print Icon, and/or Email Icon (it does not appear the settings interact), Save settings.
[For http://www.advancedparagliding.com, all 3 are set to "Hide"]
3. Go to any published Content item and Edit it.
4. Select Parameters tab and change "Email icon" to "Show" (instead of "Use Global").
[This was done for http://www.advancedparagliding.com/content/view/15/56/]
5. In web browser, navigate to your website and open the Content item in question.

6. Click the Email icon. Instead of getting a popup window with an email form, you get a popup window with the message "You are not authorized to view this resource."

Any other comments
Proposed fix(es):
Since sites built prior to 1.0.11 were configured for this to work correctly (supporting setting the Global Configuration to Hide those icons, then only turning them on for individual content items), the only real "fix" is to make it work the same way again. The workaround appears to set the icons to "Show" in the Global Configuration and then edit _every single content item_ in your entire site to manually override and set to "Hide".

Other users have confirmed seeing the same behavior on 1.0.12 (clean install)
