From Mediasoft's feedback document (LMW-115):

The Asset List Screenlet is very powerful. There are just some things I don’t really understand. For example, when I tried to use the Asset List Screenlet on a view that I accessed without logging in it didn’t work. I got a log message that told me I needed to log in first. Why is authentication required to display a list of assets that visitors can view on the website without logging in? In case you want to display content to users without logging in, you’ll need to hardcode the authentication of a user. This feels a bit tricky and looks like bad practice.
