   Priority:  medium           |   Milestone:  2.1       
  Component:  Feature Service  |     Version:  2.0.1

 * Create a user in Site Admin that is an author
  * In Studio Create a folder and create a feature source, a layer, a map
 and a web layout using Sample World Countries sdf.
  * Right click on the feature source in the site explorer and remove the
 inherited permissions for Everyone and add read/write permissions for the
 new user
  * Open the AJAX layout in the browser using Anonymous (no password) and
 the layer should fail to load in the map. An error indicating permission
 denied on the resource is generated in the server error log
  * Close the browser and launch the layout again only log in with the new
 user and the layer should preview
  * Close the browser again and launch the layout again but log in as
 Anonymous again and the layer will preview. It appears that the cached
 connection to the feature source somehow bypasses security.[[br]][[br]]
 The same logic applies to using a group instead of a user.
