## Description {#description}

The [`mc anonymous`](#command-mc.anonymous) command supports setting or removing anonymous [policies](/administration/identity-access-management/policy-based-access-control/#minio-policy) to a bucket and its contents. Buckets with anonymous policies allow public access where clients can perform any action granted by the policy without [authentication](/administration/identity-access-management/#minio-authentication-and-identity-management).
