CentraSite supports the concept of a guest user. Guests can access the registry anonymously without a user account.

The capabilities given to a guest are determined by the set of permissions specified in the Guest role. Typically, you give guest users read-only access to a limited set of objects.

By default, guests are given permission to use the asset catalog pages in the CentraSite Control user interface. They can use these pages to browse the assets whose permissions extend to the system-defined group named Everyone.

When you deploy CentraSite, think about the level of access you want to extend to guest users and configure the Guest role accordingly. Additionally, ensure that users who publish assets to your registry know that the Everyone group includes guest users, and that by granting access to this group, they enable access by anonymous users.

Only view access should be granted to the Everyone group. This group should not be granted permission to modify or delete registry objects.
