I want to create a completely open anonoymous web site that any of my
colleagues can contribute to without having to login. I have set up the
site for anonymous use, but people are still being challenged when they want
to add content. What am I doing wrong, how do I set it up so there are no
challenges at all?

You also have to set access for authenticated users. Maybe your friends are
authenticated in some other sites and thatswhy they can't access the
content. You can check the status of authenticated users in the same page as
you set the anonymous access.

Otherwise please check also because anonymous users can only read. I think
it has to do also something with the rights of each list of library...

Modify Settings and columns --Change Permissions --Change Anonymous
access --(check the "Add items" and "Edit items")

Hope that'll do.

Maybe I will type something this time...

In IIS you will have to enable Anonymous access. Then
give the IIS_WPG group Contributor access with Manage
Lists.

The IIS_WPG group is what IIS uses to handle anonymous
access to sites.

Thank you for your answer, however under the heading "change anonymous
access" in "modify settings and columns", the anonymous access settings are
grayed out except for a check box under "view items". I must have another
box checked somewhere that does not allow anonymous users to "Edit items"
I want the users to view and edit the content.

Any other thoughts?

"Why can't I specify anonymous access to my WSS web site? (It's
greyed/grayed out)?"

A:You need to first enable Anonymous on the Virtual Server using the IIS
MMC.

Only when this is done is setting anonymous access a selectable option.

Or to put it another way, "sharepointcommunity" in his (grin) second message
was right.

So now I can have anonymous users edit and update lists, but I can't enable
them to add, delete or edit files in do***ent libraries. Is that another
IIS setting in permissions, for example? Hope you can help.

It all depends on what rights you give anonymous users *in WSS* - the
default is that anonymous have reader access only but you can change this to
a higher right (Contributor?) if you as admin want.

You cannot upload, edit do***ents in Do***ent libraries, forms or Picture
libraries anonymously. Only list items can be added and edited anonymously.
