XPS Viewer does not handle permissions for a group named "Anyone" correctly in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:  
  • You open an XML Paper Specification (XPS) document by using XPS Viewer on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
  • You set the permissions for the XPS document by using an Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) template that specifies a group that is named "Anyone."

    Note "Anyone" is spelled by using any capitalization other than "Anyone." For example, "Anyone" is spelled as "ANYONE" or "AnyOne."
In this scenario, the permissions for the "Anyone" group are not added to the permissions list of the XPS document.

Cause

This issue occurs because of an error in XPS Viewer. XPS Viewer runs a case-sensitive comparison. Therefore, when you do not spell "Anyone" with the exact capitalization that is described in the "Symptoms" section, this issue occurs.
