Visibility of Custom Objects to Anonymous

Hi All,

This feature is a game changer! thank you.

Our use case is to allow residents to log issues about public assets, i.e. lamp posts, benches, trees etc.

Given the public nature of the assets,  we don't press residents to create accounts and login first, and I've notice the Custom Objects are only available once a end-user has logged in, not while they are still anonymous.

Is this by design or am I doing something wrong? 
And if by design, Is anonymous access to Custom Objects on the roadmap and is there a timeline? 

Many Thanks 

Dean,
