Issue

  • I started noticing actions logged in the Audit trail as a Blank User (user id 0).
    Who is this Anonymous user?

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0 (Fix Pack 60 onwards)
  • Liferay DXP 7.1
  • Liferay DXP 7.2

Resolution

  • The Anonymous User record is actually a feature of Liferay that addresses the issue of data privacy (The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Project). When a user requests their personal data to be deleted, it is a way of anonymizing their remaining unidentifiable data. Such data may be held onto for various reasons including those related to legislation.
