Attributes and relationships
The table below explains the web role attributes used by Power Pages.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The descriptive name of the web role |
| Website | The associated website |
| Description | An optional explanation of the web role's purpose. |
| Authenticated Users Role | Boolean. If set to true, this web role is the default for authenticated users (see below). Websites should only have one web role with the Authenticated Users Role attribute set to true. |
| Anonymous Users Role | Boolean. If set to true, this web role is the default for unauthenticated users (see below). Websites should only have one Web Role with the Anonymous Users Role attribute set to true. The Anonymous Users Role will only respect table permissions. |
Optional default web roles
Now that the web role has been created, you can configure it to meet your needs via various permissions, rules, and associations.
Authenticated users
Enabling the Authenticated Users Role makes it the default web role for all users. This role is commonly used to provide a predetermined access for users that aren't associated to any other roles. Keep in mind that users can have multiple web roles, but there can only be one Authenticated Users web role for authenticated users.
Unauthenticated users
The Anonymous Users Role is intended to be used with table permissions. It will not respect any other rules or permissions. Enabling the Anonymous Users Role makes it the default web role for all users. There can only be one Anonymous Users web role for unauthenticated users.
