***Note**: To perform this action, an administrator must have enabled anonymous access for the web application.*

**Caution**: Enabling anonymous access makes a web server inherently less secure, as anonymous users and authenticated users without granted access to your site can potentially change settings or content or launch a denial of service attack against your server. Their actions cannot be traced to an authenticated user account.
