As a site owner, try to balance ease of administration with the need to control specific permissions.
Using the default WorkStation groups is recommended (site owners, site members and site visitors) and in most circumstances it is best to add users as members, which allows users to contribute to the site but limits their ability to change the structure of the site or the site settings and appearance.
WorkStations can serve as internal collaboration platforms for an organization, but also as a resource for the public. Public WorkStation access is called Anonymous Access because it is not associated with a username and password.
To enable Anonymous Access, go to Site Settings and under “Users and Permissions” choose Site Permissions
Then, on the Permissions tab, click Anonymous Access to manage anonymous access to the site
Choose whether you want Anonymouse users to have access to the entire site or to lists and librarires only. Uncheck Require Use Remote Interfaces permission if anonymous users are complaining they are having issues accessing the site.
Then click OK(back to Site Owner Help)
