Hi Amol,
ReplyDeleteone quick question - can anonymous users edit\download MS word file from sharePoint 2010? As we have provided anonymous access to all portal. User can open\download PDF file , but can't edit MS Word/Excel/PowerPoint/OneNote.
S
Anonymous users can download every file from the site collection, except where unique permissions are mentioned. if they need to edit then the site will ask for credentials. once they enter the credentials then only they can edit.
Deleteone line conclusion: anonymous users cannot edit it directly.
let me know in case of any further queries, thank you.
