Hello, what is IFSANONYMOUS used for? What problems might deactivating it cause? Can you help me?

Best answer by Baran

The **IFSANONYMOUS** user is a temporary system user used before a user logs into IFS. It allows the login screen to load and retrieve the required data from the database before user authentication.

It also supports functions such as **changing the user password from the login screen**. If this user is disabled, some login-related functions, such as password change, may become unavailable

​@Baran Thank you. In our system this user is set up as an end user and therefore requires 1 license. Do you know why or should this actually be a service user?
