Disabling Anonymous Access

Question

How can I disable Anonymous Access to my sharepoint sites? I am without access to the Site Collecition Administration page, and can not seem to find this solution anywhere online.

When I go to the Permissions:website there is no button in the server ribbon for Anonymous Access.

In Sharepoint Designer, when I click the Anonymous Access button, it opens a browser with the sharepoint.website/_layouts/setanon.aspx and returns a 404 error.

Publishing is not enabled.

Answer 1

This is a top-level site with anonymous access enabled:

All of my sub-sites inherit from this so when I go to them the "Anonymous Access" button in the image above is just gone. You might want to try breaking the inheritance if you're not working with the top-level site in your site collection. If you can't do any of this you probably don't have permission to make the changes and you should contact the person in your organization who does, or the support group for this site's hosting.

Here's a subsite for the site above, notice the button for breaking inheritance:

If you are ALREADY at your top-level site and you do not see what I posted above, then you probably do not have anonymous access enabled. This is a top-level site WITHOUT anonymous access enabled:

Notice how there's no "Anonymous Access" button.

Answer 2

By default your site should be set to Anonymous access disabled...to enable follow this link for a run through. If yours is already enabled you can work it out from info below.
