Pierre,
The following applies to the Bluenet (Australian) version of Geonetwork regarding Guest users.
Not sure if this information would apply to the flavour of Geonetwork you are running but it
may help you........
Guests are regular users with a username and a password. They become users of the special
group 'GUEST' if they use the self-register function They are of user type 'Registered user':-
Registered users
Registered users are members of a group. They are only able to view records, download files or use interactive maps
but can't create or edit records.
They can either be members of a normal group or the special group GUEST if they used the self-register function. However before
they are able to view any 'non-public' records privileges must be set for them by the content reviewer or the administrator.
GUEST - This a special group which users become member of if they self-register using the register function. Users select the register function, enter their email address and user name and are then emailed a password. The system administrator is emailed of this event. Users in the group 'guest' have the same rights as 'registered users' i.e. they can view records, look at interactive maps and download files but can't create or edit records. However they can only view 'non-public' records when a content reviewer user or the administrator has set viewing permission for the record to the group GUEST.

Subject: [GeoNetwork-users] privileges - differences betwwen All and Guest
Hi list,
I don't get the difference between 'All' and 'Guest' in the privileges
group.
I thought Guest was a non declared user (without username and password) and
All = all the groups.
But when I check the Publish box for 'Guest' and search it when i am logout,
I can't find it.
I can find it when I checked the Publish box for 'All'.
So what is the purpose and interest of the 'Guest' group?
Thanks.
Pierre
