IIS Anonymous settings question

Hi Gang,

 

When enabling the Anonymous Authentication, there is an Edit button to set a user. As well, there is also an option to specify a user in Basic Settings for a virtual folder/app in IIS.

 

What is the difference between these two?

 

Many thanks!

Found my answer in case anyone is curious...Basic Settings sets the user account for a more limited scope - disk access only. Setting the account via Edit button for the Anonymous auth option has broader access - disk, registry and network.
