Enable Anonymous Site Access in SharePoint

An anonymous user is Joe Average from the internet-- someone who visits your page without logging in at all. Think of the applications and repercussions of this setting before enabling.

1. At your main site, click on Site Actions and select Site Settings .
2. In the Users & Permissions column, select Advanced Permissions.
3. A list of site users/groups will display. On the toolbar, click Settings and choose Anonymous Access.
4. Access may be set to "Nothing." Select "Entire Web site."
5. Click OK to save your changes. Now users will be able to view your site without logging in. Permissions for web parts can be modified on an individual basis.
