AnonymousPermMask64 for different anonymous settings for Sharepoint lists and document libraries

In addition to changing anonymous settings for the Sharepoint sites (see AllowAnonymousAccess, AnonymousState and AnonymousPermMask64 properties for Sharepoint sites with different anonymous configurations) it may be needed to enable anonymous access for particular lists and doclibs. In this case you need to set Anonymous users can access: Lists and libraries for the parent web (see above link) and enable anonymous access for the list/doclib. It is done from List settings > Permissions for this document library > Anonymous Access. Here you may check only View items permissions for anonymous users on regular web sites with read anonymous access. Let’s see how SPList.AnonymousPermMask64 property will be changed.

1. No anonymous access

In this case SPList.AnonymousPermMask64 = EmptyMask

2. View Items

Now SPList.AnonymousPermMask64 = ViewListItems, OpenItems, ViewVersions, ViewFormPages, Open, UseClientIntegration.
