Drupal 7: Not being able to see front page content

I'm new to Drupal and to be honest it's not my first choice of a CMS, but I have a low budget client so I have to use it. It sucks because in part I don't actually have to do too much coding and in part because there are so many configuration options.

For example, I was trying to enable the home page of the app so anyone can view it. However that didn't seem possible initially. Then I heard of the Access Control plugin, which I installed and had configured it correctly, but it still didn't work! What gives??

It turns out that there is a overriding flag that restricts the access of published content. To fix this, goto People -> Permission -> View Published Content, and check the Anonymous checkbox. Then the access control plugin will work.
