Confluence Docs 3.0 : Setting up Anonymous Access This page last changed on Jun 24, 2009 by ggaskell. You can enable anonymous access (also known as public access) to your site by granting the 'Use Confluence' permission to 'Anonymous' users from the 'Administration Console'. This user category has been created for convenient administration of users who have not logged into the site. Permissions assigned to this group apply to all anonymous users of the site. To enable public access to your site, Go to the Confluence 'Administration Console'. To do this: Open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Confluence Admin'. The 'Administration Console' view will open. Select 'Global Permissions' in the left panel. Click 'Edit Permissions'. In the 'Anonymous Access' section, select the 'can use' check box to enable basic public access to the content on your site. If you selected the 'can use' check box in the previous step and want to allow public access to user profile views, select the check box in the 'View User Profiles' section. You cannot grant the 'View User Profiles' permission independently of the 'Use Confluence' permission. Click the 'Save All' button to save your changes. Once you grant this permission, further permissions can be granted from the space administration screens to control the viewing and editing privileges of anonymous users. See Space Permissions Overview.
| To disable public access to your site, clear the can use check box. If you also have the 'View User Profiles' check box selected, it must be cleared before saving the configuration changes.
