| 10 | | Non-authenticated users accessing the system are assigned the name "anonymous". Assign permissions to the "anonymous" user to set privileges for anonymous/guest users. The parts of Trac that a user does not have the privileges for will not be displayed in the navigation. |
| 11 | | In addition to these privileges, users can be granted additional individual rights in effect when authenticated and logged into the system. All logged in users belong to the virtual group "authenticated", which inherits permissions from "anonymous". |

| 128 | | Any user who has not logged in is automatically in the "anonymous" group. |
| 129 | | Any user who has logged in is also in the "authenticated" group. |
| 130 | | The "authenticated" group inherits permissions from the "anonymous" group. |
| 131 | | For example, if the "anonymous" group has permission WIKI_MODIFY, |
| 132 | | it is not necessary to add the WIKI_MODIFY permission to the "authenticated" group as well. |
| | 121 | There are two built-in groups, //authenticated// and //anonymous//. |
| | 122 | Any user who has not logged in is automatically in the //anonymous// group. |

| | 176 | |
| | 177 | By default on a new Trac installation, the //anonymous// user will have ''view'' access to everything in Trac, but will not be able to create or modify anything. |
| | 178 | On the other hand, the //authenticated// users will have the permissions to ''create and modify tickets and wiki pages''. |

| | 180 | //**anonymous**// |
