Abstract
A method begins by determining, by an authenticated device of a dispersed storage network (DSN), whether an access request from a requesting device is affiliated with an anonymous user or an authenticated user. When the requesting device is affiliated with the anonymous user, the method continues by determining, by the authenticated device, status of the anonymous user where the status of the anonymous user includes one of minimal threat, non-minimal threat, and significant threat. The method continues by processing, by the authenticated device, the access request in accordance with the status of the anonymous user.
