Hi, we want to enable anonymous user access in Confluence. How can we add them in Confluence and invite the users? We are accessing Confluence through VPN, so is there a problem accessing Confluence as an anonymous user? If yes, then how can we resolve it?"

Hi @SSU and welcome.

You enable anonymous access per space in the respective space's permissions. 

It's up to you what they can and cannot do.

Anonymous access = anyone without a Confluence seat can access the space. You do not 'add' anonymous users.

Having said that, I never tested Confluence with a VPN setup but, in theory, if a user is on your VPN, they should be able to see your anonymous space even if they don't have an account on that Confluence.

Hi @Kristian Klima Thank you so much for your response :)

Dear @SSU

If your company is looking for a way to enable anonymous access to Confluence while maintaining security there is a feature that supports this in the Kantega SSO plugin: SSO-verified Anonymous Access - Kantega SSO Enterprise - Confluence (atlassian.net)

Some of the companies that we support need to share access to internal content for innovation projects with customers or industry partners, typically technical documentation or research results that they do not want to expose in the general domain and we built this feature to help them do that without compromising security and the ability to monitor and close down accesses when needed.
