In the Default group section of the legacy Access rules menu, when setting the default group to Public or Authenticated:
- All users or authenticated users can access all documents except the documents for which a rule restricts access to a different group.
When setting the default group to a custom group:
- All members of the group can access all documents including the documents for which a rule restricts access to a different group.
By default, this group is set to Public.
Fluid Topics portals created before October 1st, 2024 use the legacy Access rules. A new version of the Access rules menu, known as the enhanced Access rules, is available. The enhanced Access rules features a brand new interface design, and provides greater flexibility to users. See Enhanced access rules.
Saving the configuration launches a reprocess job.
Setting the default group to anything other than Public keeps bots from crawling the portal and impacts the SEO strategy implemented for the portal.
