Notifications for Anonymous users web role

When the anonymous users web role is selected, your site's data is visible to anyone.

Tip

If your site visibility is set to Public, an icon will appear next to the name field in design studio and the following message will display: The data displayed in your site can be seen by anyone. If that's not what you want, change or eliminate the "Anonymous" role in your table permissions.

To restrict access to your site's data, follow the steps to assign table permissions and remove the checkmark next to the Anonymous users web role.
