I set up a Webform for a Membership Application. I followed the instructions on this page for setting up an Autocomplete for the Organization the new Member belongs to:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Webform+CiviCRM+Integration#WebformCiviCRMIntegration-CurrentEmployer

So, this works fine when I am logged in (as an administrator), and it auto completes the organization name with options from the database. But when I test the form when I'm logged out, it doesn't recognize any organization names that I know are in the CiviCRM. Furthermore, when I try to add a new organization it doesn't get added to the database.

Any ideas why this might be happening?

Also, in all cases the Position field doesn't appear even though there is a "Position" field option when I edit in the Webform tab. It is down at the bottom and has options for "Parent" (I set it to "Organization"). Is this field supposed to automatically be part of the Existing Contact field?

Thank you!

The anonymous user does not have permission to view contacts in your database. Be thankful for this default, it can save you from accidentally exposing your entire database to the world!

You can override this default by editing the "existing contact" field (from the webform tab) and unticking "Enforce Permissions". Typically you would also set one or more filters on that form (e.g. pick a group) to limit the autocomplete to just the organizations you want to expose.
