I set the guest login for allowing people from my company to view some specific projects without password. For that, I set access control to projects and their sprint to "custom" and checked in whitelist "guest". Other projects are set with access control "default".

Only projects with access control "default" are visible by guest users. All projects with "custom" access control are hidden. Do I need to set other parameters?

In parallel I created a user "visitor" with its own password in the group "guest". Strangely users logged with "visitor" are able to see all the projects with access control "default" and "custom"...

Any tips would be very welcome!

"Default" can be understood as Public. Refer to the screenshot which is the Guest user privileges. You can see that Project is selected by default. If you didn't uncheck the box, a Guest user can visit the Project set as Default (access control).

What you can do is to uncheck the Product and choose the Project below from the dropdown to grant specific access to a project/sprint to the Guest user.

Thanks for the reply Yves

I understand that the default acts as Public and I'm fine with that. All projects with default access can be view by guest.

What I'm trying to set is having also projects set as custom to be viewed by guest users

When I'm entering in guest user>privilege>view I have this configuration

(see privilege screen)

And When I'm logging as guest no projects are showing up

(see guest screen)

Visitor user is set in guest group (see guest configuration screen).

When I'm logging with Visitor user I can see all the projects I set with customs access

(see visitor screen)

guest user logged without password should have the same behavior as Visitor user (they are in the same group)

Guest user without password is not useable as it is, therefore I ended up creating this visitor user with password to mimic the guest user behaviour. User need to remenber user and password instead to enter with one clic.
