Heiya Legoktm, thanks a lot for you info and the pointer to the relevant configuration parameter. Today I have updated the documentation of all four related parameters and referenced each other for others to find the relevant info faster in the future and without the need to ask here.

In other words: it prevents an anonymous user from logging in and become a logged in user. I personally would expect that the software looks at the user name checks if this one is allowed to edit judging by the user rights assigned to the user account and lets the ananymous user log into that user account if it is ok. Perhaps something that broke starting 1.27? Anyways will this be worth creating a task? I guess so.
