Consider a scenario in which an anonymous user search for the user profiles on the google. He gets public profile link to different social network which he can view as the anonymous user but if this user is registered and authenticated user on the social site but his profile is inactive at the moment he won't be able to view even the public profiles as his permission to the profile will be revoke thanks to the is_active authentication check. By default in this case Anonymous user will have greater surfing space compared with the inactive user.
My question was basically focused on permission support for the Anonymous users in Django and is confusing me with the topic Authorization for Anonymous and Authorization for inactive user's. In the former it's written clearly that there is no support for anonymous users but in later topic as referenced in my previous post it states *The support for anonymous users in the permission system allows for a scenario where anonymous users have permissions to do something while inactive authenticated users do not . * This very line mentioned is making the whole state confusing about permission support in django.
