Anonymous access, if enabled, allows unauthenticated users to access certain resources. If anonymous access is disabled and a user attempts to access a resource without authenticating, they will typically receive a 403 Forbidden error. Conversely, if anonymous access is enabled, a 403 error might occur if the user lacks permissions even after anonymous access is granted (e.g., if the resource requires authentication or authorization). Carefully configure anonymous access based on your application's security requirements.
