Granting Anonymous Public Access
Through the public-access feature, Administrators can permit anyone to view
certain folders and files within a project. This allows you to share information
without requiring that the intended readers supply a username and password.
In addition, people with which you wish to share project details need not be
Buzzsaw users. If you provide them the URL for public project data, they can
view it with their Web browser.

How Public Access Works
When a new site is created, a public member is also created — denoted in the
Members list as (public). To see it, click Site Administration, then click the
Members tab.
By assigning the member (public) to a project, you allow anyone to log in to
your project and exercise the permissions you have assigned to (public). For
example, if you assign View permission to the member (public) for a subfolder
of Project X, anyone who logs in as (public) will be able to view only the
contents of that subfolder.
NOTE If the member (public) is not created when your site is established, only
Site Administrators — or Project Administrators that have been granted the ability
to create site members — can create this member.
