"authenticated" is a pseudo-group for all the logged in users, and "anonymous" is one for all non-logged in users. It's up to you to define permissions for one, both or none of them. The new default is to allow only read permissions for "anonymous", and write permissions for "authenticated", as suggested in Brian's first mail. He then asked if he can remove the user anonymous altogether (at least, that's how I understood his question), and of course he can do so. By doing this , he effectively requires authentication for his Trac. So when you have a site that requires authentication, there's no "anonymous" users, by definition. Likewise, when you allow anonymous access, it's because you have set up some permissions for the group "anonymous". At least that's how I understand it, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. -- Christian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
