Anonynmous Users is not equal to users that are not logged in?

I tried setting up a Web Page Access Contrul Rule, for Anonymous Users to see a page, thinking that this will apply basically for users that are not logged in, but that`s not the case. What are not logged in users called, and what are Anonymous Users?

    @Robert94 can you explain the issue that you're experiencing a little more so we can help you?

     

    The way I usually look at it, anonymous access control means that users don't have to log in to have access to it, as opposed to preventing users who are logged in from seeing something. If you want to show content on a page for anonymous users, I usually use Liquid to see if user is null.

    I hope this helps? If I misunderstood your question, feel free to provide more details!

    The Annonymous Web Role is what is inherited by unauthenticated users.  Note: If there are multiple Web Roles with the anonymous tickbox ticked, then only 1 is inherited (could be either one)

     

    To quote the doco (just noticed the last sentence) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/portals/configure/create-web-roles

    "Boolean. If set to true, this will be the default web role for unauthenticated users (see below). Only one Web Role with the Anonymous Users Role attribute set to true should exist for a given website. This will be the default web role for unauthenticated users. The Anonymous Users Role will only respect Table Permissions"

     

    Edit: also if making changes, Clear the Portal Cache, logout any existing Portal User, Close the Browser.
