Default permissions

These are default permissions in Magnolia. You can manage them in the Security app. The default permissions are just an example how to grant permissions in a typical website. You should adapt the permissions to match your own organization. App permissions are configured in the app launcher configuration.

Roles

anonymous role - author instance

The anonymous role defines the permissions of public, unauthenticated users. Permissions are different on the author and public instances.
