When the **Styleguide** plugin is enabled, it is expected that only the groups that are set in the `styleguide_allowed_groups` will be able to access it; the `admins` are enabled by default.

When I try this on `7d5cb8ed`, I can access the `/styleguide` page anonymously, and with any logged-in user.

Tested locally using:

```plaintext
Discourse 3.6.0.beta3-latest - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version 7d5cb8edc0b2589e3a05f0935ef8365e9bea5397

```
