Thanks for your answer π
Can you perhaps help me understand what specific scenarios I could have where guests would need to access our root site?

So I hope that you perhaps could elaborate or tell me about scenarios where external access would be needed to our new root site.
Thanks in advance π

I personally cannot think of any scenario where Guests need access to Intranet and would never do that.
But I donβt know about your Intranet, may be work work with your content creators to understand why it was allowed earlier ?

But unfortunately there is nobody I can ask. The setup was created by an external company and the then admin is not here anymore.
But thank you very much for your answer ππ
